Yep, Scotty T has just WALKED AWAY from his role in a Leeds panto after an almighty row over how much money he’s getting.

OH YES HE HAS! etc.

Scotty told The Sun that the panto’s creators, White Rose Productions, ““have continually given me false promises of payment,” and that “they had not planned any method of payment.”

He also claims that he lent the company over £7000 “to cover accommodation and flooring for the venue”.

In fact, he even claims that the whole panto is a “scam”, saying: “In my view, this whole production has been a scam with no funds for wages from day one and false promises delivered from the directors about funds.”

Still, if early reviews are anything to go by, Scotty’s departure from the panto is probably no great loss.

“Scotty T in panto is the worst thing I have ever witnessed!!!! The whole show is a disaster!” hooted one unhappy fan on Twitter recently.

“Yeah, honestly it’s the worst thing I’ve witnessed he can’t act or dance at all and the mics kept going off. They’ve cancelled tomorrow morning show to rehearse ???? they need to cancel the full thing!!”

Ohhhhh dear. And another theatre-goer wrote an even more scathing review on the show’s Facebook page.

“Tonight’s show has been awful, I really hate to say this but the sound has been bad, mics not working which meant the cast lost the crowd from the start… not enough interaction…the crowd not being kept under control, kids running riot, security cant control them( not that they should have to but they are not even in the theatre),” it read.

“Not even half way through and so many ppl have walked out. It’s embarrassing and I feel sooo sorry for the cast because it’s not their fault.

“My daughters have been in tears because couldn’t hear some points!

“I really hope this is first night blip! Gutted we came to this show and not one later on.”
