BILLY Pearce entertained students at a 'lock-in' held at The Broadway shopping centre last night.

The student shopping event - featuring giveaways, offers and the first 400 students receiving a £5 Broadway gift card - also included a Cinderella pantomime-themed Bradford Theatres information stand.

Cinderella’s ‘footmen’ and ‘servants’ gave away desserts and canapés, goodie bags and special offers, while Alhambra favourite Billy Pearce enjoyed a laugh with students and staff, posed for selfies and signed autographs.

Billy will play Buttons in this year's Alhambra panto, Cinderella, which also stars Coleen Nolan and her singer son, Shane Nolan.
