SHE may not be on Emmerdale any more but Tottington's Lisa Riley is certainly a busy girl this festive season.

She's appearing in Dick Whittington at the Grand Theatre Wolverhampton with fellow, late Emmerdalian Butch Dingle (Paul Loughran) and Jimmy Cricket.

And she's joining a glitzy cast -- incuding Patsy Kensit, Martin Clunes and ex-Bolton School star turned Royle Family member Ralf Little -- in the ITV panto Aladdin.
