SHANE Richie is clearing his throat for a round of 'bah, humbugs' in Manchester this Christmas.

The former EastEnders star Shane plays festive misery-guts Ebenezer Scrooge in the stage musical of the classic Charles Dickens tale.

The show, produced by theatre impresario Bill Kenwright, will call at Manchester's Palace Theatre until January 12.

And it will bring Shane back for his third working stint in the city in the past year. He won rave reviews starring in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at The Palace in March, and also filmed ITV drama The Good Samaritan in the city.

Shane, who won millions of fans as EastEnders' Alfie Moon, wed his long-term girlfriend Christie Goddard at a star-studded ceremony in Beaconsfield earlier this year.

Scrooge is at the Palace Theatre from Tuesday, December 4 until Sunday, January 12. Call the Box Office on 0870 060 1768 or click here to book tickets.
