The pantomime rich list has been revealed with Alison Hammond and Scott Mills raking in huge pay days.
They join the likes of Vernon Kay and Catherine Tate who swapped their day jobs for a Christmas stint on the stage.
Radio 2’s Scott, 51, starred as Mayor Mills in Jack And The Beanstalk in High Wycombe this year where he took home £190,000, according to reports.
But he still remains second to This Morning star Alison, 50, despite her choosing to sit out December’s panto season.
She chose to stay firmly put on the ITV programme this year but she can usually be seen at Birmingham Hippodrome.
Alison takes home £195,000 for her role as the Magical Mermaid in Peter Pan which she played in 2024 and 2025, with none of this year’s panto stars being able to top her fee.

According to a new report from The Sun, Vernon Kay comes in third with his £190,000 fee while Christopher Biggins makes £180,000 and Bradley Walsh takes home £120,000, the same as Catherine Tate and Brian Connelly.
Elsewhere, Sydnie Christmas makes £80,000 while Nigel Havers takes home £60,000 and Katie Price earns £50,000 from her pantomime role.
A source added: ‘Many of the famous faces in the Palladium’s panto have been on contracts locking them in for years – some as much as a decade
‘They are now all running out so bosses are ready to shake things up.’
Last month, Scott admitted how he would not be able to enjoy too many sweet treats ahead of his return to pantomime.
The DJ said he could not risk putting on any weight after previously being unable to fit into his costume.
Scott explained pantomimes take so many months to plan and actors after fitted into their stage looks months before showtime, with nobody on hand at Christmas to let out the look should he indulge in too many mince pies.
He stars as Mayor Mills in the Swan theatre show alongside La Voix and BGT finalist Matt Edwards as Jack.

Scott said: ‘Those outfits, I mean, you try them on for the first time in May, then you put them on again for rehearsal. And honestly, the first year I did it, I was like: ‘Oh, this is tight’.
‘And there’s no one there to change the cut. Like they can’t let it out because there’s no one there.
He told The Sun: ‘That’s the costume – there isn’t a second one. ‘So, yeah, you do have to be careful of that.’
Scott has starred in the role since making his panto debut in 2023.
