Joining him is everybody’s favourite Northern Nancy, Jodie Prenger reprising her role as The Lady of the Lake in a variety of hand-picked locations, including those in the North West.

Meanwhile, Grammy Award winner John Du Prez has been busy producing the UK Cast Recording. Featuring Jodie Prenger, Marcus Brigstocke and Todd Carty, it was recorded at the Churchill Theatre Bromley and is currently on sale.

Spamalot arrives at Manchester's Palace Theatre from 7 -12 February and Blackpool's Grand Theatre from 18 -23 April.
