Steve McFadden takes break from panto schedule to visit Birmingham's National Sealife Centre
Steve McFadden aka Phil Mitchell from the UK's most popular soap took some time off from his busy Panto schedule to visit the National Sealife Centre in Birmingham.
Steve who is starring as King Rat in Dick Whittington at Birmingham Hippodrome visited the city centre attraction with his family over the bank holiday.
The National Sealife Centre spokesperson Chris Coventry said: "We were delighted to welcome Steve and his family.
"They had a great time visiting the attraction and particularly loved our 360 degree Ocean Tunnel, the only one in the UK.
"It was however Molokai, our giant green sea turtle who Steve seemed to most enjoy.
"Perhaps they identify because Molokai is just as grumpy as his character Phil Mitchell!".
Joining Steve on stage in this year's magical production of Dick Whittington are Torchwood and West End star John Barrowman, comedy duo The Krankies, West End songstress Jodie Prenger and funny-man Matt Slack.
