Cilla, best-known in her later years for her role as the presenter of Blind Date, made a perfect fairy godmother in her glittering silver gown.

While Dynasty actress Collins, 74, picked up her shoulder pads again to play the role of one of the ugly sisters, alongside Jo Brand.

And the television panto also reunited the pair with their pal, King of the Jungle Christopher Biggins, as Buttons, with beautiful singer Jamelia playing the part of Cinderella and host O'Grady playing the wicked stepmother.

Despite their advancing years, Cilla and Joan showed they could party just as hard as their younger contemporaries, and they spent the night quaffing champagne and showing off their moves on the dancefloor alongside their superstar pal.

Cilla, 64, in particular seemed particularly young at heart, as she publicly canoodled with boyfriend Reading FC boss John Madejski.
