Kerry Katona has had to pull out of the popular Easter Panto tour at the last minute. Kerry was replaced by RuPaul's Drag Race star Divina de Campo after Anton Benson Production announced to fans on social media that a change of cast had taken place.

A spokesperson for Mansfield District Council told Nottinghamshire Live that Kerry had to step down due to feeling unwell. She was due to play the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Robin Hood Easter pantomime at the Mansfield Palace Theatre.

The shows took place on Saturday, April 13, and Sunday, April 14. The post from Anton Benson Production reads: "There's been a change of cast for Robin Hood at Mansfield Palace Theatre! The Sheriff is now being played by Divina De Campo."

Divina was already part of the show as the Sheriff of Nottingham in other locations such as Doncaster. Kerry Katona had stepped in for the role after Louie Spence had to withdraw for personal reasons.

Producers have previously said that the queen of the jungle was "delighted" to play the role, while producers were "thrilled" she was able to step back in. This wouldn't have been Kerry's first performance in Mansfield, as she played there in last year's spring panto, Rapunzel.
