GRAND Opera House pantomime star Audrey Leybourne dressed as her Beauty And The Beast character Potty T Potts when she visited Highfield Care Home residents in Tadcaster.

Accompanied by the York theatre's marketing staff for Monday's visit, Audrey chatted with residents and staff over a cup of tea.

Once one of Les Dawson's Roly Polys tap dancers, she never misses an opportunity to sing, on this occasion beginning appropriately with A Nice Cup Of Tea. The residents were only too happy to join in and a good time was had by all.

Still performing at 90, Audrey will star alongside Debbie McGee, Antony Costa, Lynne McGranger and Ken Morley in Beauty And The Beast from tomorrow to January 7. Tickets are on sale on 0844 871 3024 or at atgtickets.com/york
