Boo, hiss as Salpa quits panto

NEVER has the change from fairy princess to pantomime villain been so dramatic.

One of the country’s best-known models, Georgia Salpa, yesterday became the beauty who did a beastly act after it was announced she had pulled out of her starring role in Sleeping Beauty at the Tivoli Theatre in Dublin — less than a week before the show was due to open.

The show’s producers — TV3 presenter Alan Hughes and his partner, Karl Broderick — expressed anger and disappointment yesterday at Salpa’s sudden withdrawal from the pantomime.
