The former Emmerdale actress pulled out of the role and other work after a storm of bad publicity over the Celebrity Big Brother '˜punchgate' row.

Naomi Wilkinson began her career as a Butlin's Redcoat and made a splash as the effervescent host of Channel 5's Milkshake! which she presented for 10 years.

She has been a constant and well-loved face on UK TV screens ever since, notably as the presenter of Marrying Mum & Dad, Countryfile, Finger Tips and Live 'n' Deadly with Steve Backshall among many others.

Naomi quickly established herself as a children's TV favourite, well-loved by children and parents alike for her bubbly, energetic persona and daredevil attitude.

Cinderella also stars Rhydian Roberts from X Factor as Prince Charming.
