X-Factor’s Sam Bailey asks audiences to don Christmas jumpers for Text Santa
X Factor 2013 winner Sam Bailey is urging audiences to get into the Christmas spirit this Friday 18 Dec and wear a Christmas jumper in aid of Text Santa.
The powerhouse vocalist is currently playing Fairy Bowbells at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre and is asking all cast, crew, staff and audiences to find their tackiest festive jumper and wear it to the shows on Friday.
Sam Bailey said: ‘I want everybody – crew, staff, all audience members coming to watch the show on Text Santa day, to wear silly Christmas jumpers. Whoever’s coming into the building on Friday, if you have a Crimbo sweater, get it on! I’ve seen so many kids coming to enjoy the panto, it’s amazing, but it’s important to remember those that are less fortunate.’
Staff will be donating £2 each to the cause which is supporting 3 key charities; Macmillan, Make A Wish and Save The Children, and post-show bucket collections on Friday will also be held for the nationwide fundraising campaign.
The panto star can also be seen on ITV’s Text Santa programme Friday, appearing alongside chat show host Jeremy Kyle for a special festive sing along!
