It seems like costumes, Croydon and Casualty star Georgina Bouzova go hand in hand.

Before her days as an actress, a jobless Georgina resorted to handing out Easter goodies at WH Smiths dressed as a rabbit.

This time she's back to play the lead role Snow White in this year's pantomime.

"It's good to be back, especially as last time I was here I was dressed in a bunny outfit so going from that to this - it's good," explained Georgina, who plays nurse Ellen Zitek in the hospital drama.

Unlike veteran Bernie Nolan, this is Georgina's first go at treading the pantomime boards.

"I've always wanted to do panto. I've been in Casualty for two-and-a-half-years so this is a good way to ease myself back on stage."

But despite the demands of doing panto and only having moved to London earlier this month, Georgina is also taking part in hit BBC 1 show Strictly Come Dancing which began last Saturday.

"I've always wanted to learn how to dance and was a good opportunity before pantomime to get me fit.

"I'm not at all trained in dancing and it's a really gruelling schedule but I jumped at the chance," she said.
