The original star of the Funny Girls Show, Miss Betty Legs Diamond entertained millions of customers at the Funny Girls venue when it opened in 1994.

The show became an overnight sensation, drawing visitors from across the country.

But in 2009, Betty left the show to pursue new opportunities and starred in her own hugely successful show at Boulevard, Newcastle.

Basil Newby, owner of Funny Girls, said: “I am truly delighted and thrilled to announce that the supremely talented Miss Betty Legs Diamond is coming home to Funny Girls and Blackpool.

“That is certainly true for Betty, as she really does belong here on the stage at Funny Girls.

“Her heart is in Blackpool and her soul is on the stage at Funny Girls, and as for those famous legs, well they are a destined to dazzle audiences right here in the resort! Betty and Funny Girls, it is a match made in heaven.

“I am looking forward to welcoming friends and fans, old and new, into Funny Girls to enjoy the very best comedy, dance and stunning live entertainment that the resort has to offer.
