Gary Lucy is on a mission to 'make kids cry' in Sunderland this Christmas as he makes quite an impression as villain Abanazar in Aladdin at the Empire.
Gary is best known to TV viewers as Luke Morgan in Hollyoaks, the character at the centre of a groundbreaking male rape storyline, b3efore going to play Eark's Park star striker Kyle Pascoe in much talked about ITV drama Footballers' Wives. After returning to Hollyoaks a few years ago, Gary made a shocking exit from the soap in the summer, as Luke plummeted to his death, whilst on holiday with wife-to-be Cindy.
And now, as he looks for love on the latest series of E4's Celebs Go Dating, Gary is taking on a far from heart-warming role in the Empire pantomime. Crowds have been flocking to the famous theatre for just over a week now to see Aladdin,. also starring Boulevard Newcastle's own Miss Rory and talented writer and performer Tom Whalley and Gary has been getting his fair shares of boos as Abanazar, the villain intent on spoiling Aladdin and Princess Jasmine's party.
