Strictly stars join Craig Revel Horwood for Annie West End gala

The stars came out last night to see Craig Revel Horwood in the role of Miss Hannigan in the West End production of Annie.

The Strictly Come Dancing judge was joined by a number of this year's contestants including Alexandra Burke, Brian Conley and Debbie McGee.

Revel Horwood will be playing the part for a limited run, following in the footsteps of Miranda Hart, who starred in the role from June to September.

He returns to the role after starring in Nikolai Foster's touring production in 2015. Due to TV commitments, Revel Horwood will not be performing on Saturdays.

Annie runs at the Piccadilly Theatre until 18 February 2018.
