Robert Lindsay, Clive Rowe and more among Great British Pantomime Awards 2019 winners

The winners of the 2019 Great British Pantomime Awards have been revealed.

Robert Lindsay, who made his pantomime debut as Captain Hook in Peter Pan in Richmond last Christmas won the Best Male Villain award, while Clive Rowe, who returned to his old stomping ground at Hackney Empire, picked up the award for Best Dame.

The coveted Pantomime of the year award (split into three categories based on venue capacity) was won by Glasgow King's Aladdin, Edinburgh King's Beauty and the Beast and Gordon Craig Theatre's Snow White.

The lifetime achievement award was given to Berwick Kaler, who officially retired as York Theatre Royal's panto dame in February after over 40 years of damehood.
