Ashley told the Echo: “I’m used to travelling down to Southampton – where we have done the pantomimes at the Mayflower it feels very much like home for me.

“We know the area so well that it feels really natural coming here.

“Diversity have performed at a lot of places but the crowds at the Mayflower are always so energetic and playful.

“The Mayflower is so big you feel like you’re at a concert every night – I love it. Outside of London its one of the best theatres for me.”
