Comedian Steve Royle shares stage with Daughter Rosie in exciting Blackpool Grand Panto

Blackpool Grand Theatre was the setting for a special moment for Chorley comedian and pantomime favourite Steve Royle this week.

His daughter Rosie took to the stage as Fairy Bon Bon in Beauty & the Beast, marking her first leading role in a major production and a first time performing alongside her dad.

For Steve, known across the North West for his hilarious pantomime performances, it was a heartwarming experience.

Watching Rosie shine on stage, full of confidence and charm, was a proud moment for any parent.

From her timing to her expressions, Rosie brought the character to life, delighting both the audience and her father in equal measure.

Steve was quick to praise the cast and crew, whose guidance and support helped Rosie deliver a standout performance.

Their dedication ensured that the young performer could shine confidently in a demanding role, making the production a success on every level.

Steve Royle on Facebook, said: “Proud Dad moment! My amazing ‘middle twin’ Rosie stepped up today at Blackpool Grand Theatre to play Fairy Bon Bon in Beauty & the Beast.

“It was an emotional experience standing and acting alongside my daughter for the first time with her in a leading role.

“She even stole my final gag line, much to all our amusement. You’re a star, Rosie Royle, and we are so proud of you!

“Thanks also to the fabulous cast and crew who helped and guided her through - you’re all brilliant!”

As the curtains fell, it was clear that Rosie Royle had made her mark on the Blackpool stage, and her father couldn’t have been prouder.

For a pantomime star and comedian used to commanding the stage himself, this was a moment where pride, emotion, and laughter came together in the perfect performance.

Rosie is certainly a rising star and with her talent and spirit, there’s no doubt she will continue to delight audiences for years to come.
