THE Mayflower’s Fairy Godmother is back!

Stefanie Powers, who is starring in Cinderella: The Musical Pantomime in Southampton, had been stuck at Heathrow urging officials to allow her back into the country.

But she has now cleared immigration after a mix-up with her work visa and is expected to perform in today’s two performances of the show.

Stefanie, best known for her starring role in US TV drama Hart to Hart, was returning to London from Los Angeles following the death of her mother.

She told the Daily Echo: "I am delighted to have returned to Southampton even though there was a slight delay checking my fairy credentials by the British immigration. How many fairy godmothers can they deal with on a daily basis at this time of year?

"I am looking forward to completing the run of Cinderella with my friends and colleagues."

Cinderella: The Musical Pantomime runs until January 17.
