'What time is it? It's panto time!': Chico gets into character ahead of Stourbridge panto
Cheeky Chico has donned his royal regalia as he prepares to put on a grand performance for Mary Stevens Hospice's upcoming pantomime extravaganza.
X-factor favourite and extravagant funny-man, Chico, has said that 'any time is Chico time' ahead of his performance in Mary Stevens Hospice's Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime next week.
The annual pantomime, which will take place at Stourbridge Town Hall on Wednesday, February 11th, will be the eighth performance put on by the charity and has quickly become one of the hospice's largest fundraisers year on year.

However, this year, the pantomime is promised to be more extravagant than ever as Chico joins the ranks of performers to take up the role of 'King Chico', bringing his wild antics and cheeky sense of humour to the stage.
He said: "Well, I've just put my royal regalia on and I must say, I really do feel like King Chico today. It's so exciting.
"When I visited Mary Stevens Hospice and saw all of the great work they do, their volunteers and what these people sacrifice, they are there physically and spiritually for those at the end of care.
"I instantly thought 'I have to do this'. It actually means so much to me because this hospice is really making a difference, and they are really having a huge impact on people's lives.
"It's extremely humbling to be a part of this."
