Her roles in panto include Snow White, Cinderella and the Princess in Aladdin. Jessica played Nancy in “Oliver” at the Theatre Royal Margate with Upstairs Downstairs alumnus Christopher Beeney, and at the Buxton Festival of New Musicals she played the role of Gloria in “Tilly the Musical,” with Simon Burke and Jill Gascoigne.
