Comedian Julian Clary has so many costumes in his starring pantomime role he's had to employ his own dresser.

The camp comic, who plays Dandini in Cinderella, chose his sister, Frankie Castro, to work backstage with him at the Theatre Royal in Brighton.

They're staying at the home of the late Dame Flora Robson and Julian swears her presence is still around.

It must be true, because with every pantomime there has to be a dame.
