Panto is a family affair for glamorous Linda Lusardi – as her nearest and dearest have uprooted to the Midlands for her spell on stage.

The model and actress is currently playing the role of the Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Wolverhampton’s Grand Theatre.

The seasoned panto star appears alongside husband Sam Kane, while son Jack, aged 12, also stars in the production and daughter Lucy, 15, helps out back stage.

“Home is wherever the family is, so home at the moment is Wolverhampton,” said the 53-year-old, who took time out of her hectic stage schedule to model a number of New Year fashions with Lucy, who bears a striking resemblance to her mother.

The family have uprooted to a house in Tettenhall for the duration of the panto, which runs until January 22.

She said: “I’m delighted to be back in Wolverhampton. The audience reception is fanastic and I’m loving playing the baddie.”
