Hollywood legend Mickey Rooney will be spending Christmas in Milton Keynes.

Mickey, 89, will be starring in this year's MK Theatre pantomime Cinderella alongside Bobby Davro and Anthea Turner.

Mickey has starred in hundreds of films and TV shows during his illustrious career.

He regularly worked alongside Judy Garland, featured in the timeless classic Breakfast At Tiffany's and has an Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.

Elizabeth Adlington, Milton Keynes Theatre chief executive, said: "With 85 years' experience Mickey is a true Hollywood legend and I am sure he will add some real magic to Cinderella this Christmas."
