Kym, who is playing Buddy the Elfs girlfriend Jovie, said: Im delighted to be getting back on stage and joining the cast of Elf this December. Elf is an iconic Christmas film and having seen the musical myself last year I am very excited to be part of this fun and heart-warming family show.
The show will tour Liverpool, Glasgow and London and is perfect for families and Christmas obsessives. Kym will be joined by EastEnders legend Shaun Williamson (Barry, of course!) as well as her own 8-year-old daughter Polly.
Polly will play a naughty child who has a confrontation with Santa. Kym smiled: Its amazing that I get to share the next part of my acting journey with Polly. She loves acting and performing, so for her to land her first role aged eight is great, and were all so proud of her.
