SKATERS had a hilarious encounter on the ice as pantomime star Christopher Biggins visited Southampton’s Christmas ice rink to launch a charity night.

The former I’m a Celebrity star, who takes to the stage at the Mayflower in Cinderella from Friday, was supporting the Rose Road Association’s Skate and Donate Night.

Skaters can buy tickets to get on the ice and all the money will go to the children’s charity’s Change My Life Appeal.

Biggins said: “It really is such a good cause and anyone who books tickets online can win free tickets to see me in pantomime.”

The skate and donate night is on Monday, December 22 from 8.30pm to 9pm. Visit roseroad.org.uk for details.
