Denise will star as Professor Polonium in feature length special due to premiere on Cartoonito on December 5.
Actress, presenter, singer and dancer, Denise Van Outen has added another string to her bow – starring as a character in the new feature length Fireman Sam special.
Denise (pictured) stars as the eccentric Professor Polonium in Fireman Sam: Norman Prince and the Mystery of the Sky, which will debut on Cartoonito on Saturday December 5 at 5pm.
In the special, Professor Polonium wreaks havoc across Pontpandy as she tries to prove she’s the best hero there is, by making full use of her latest invention, the super rescue suit. Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse, and a series of fires break out across the area. Who will now save the day and become the real hero?
“It’s a real privilege and honour to be asked to be part of Fireman Sam,” enthused Denise. “The show is an institution for us in our family and I absolutely love it. I am thrilled to be playing professor Polonium. She’s quite larger than life, very excitable, very opinionated and quite bossy, and she is out to make as much money as she possibly can.
“She goes to Pontypandy with her super rescue suit, which is her invention. She wants to show off, she thinks she’s going to make millions of pounds, actually she says she’s going to be a trillionaire. Except there is one small problem; everything goes slightly wrong and she causes havoc. Cue lots of fires!”
Ruth Henriquez, infant and preschool marketing director at Mattel EMEA, added: “We’re delighted to bring the brilliant new feature-length special for Fireman Sam fans to watch and enjoy.
“This is the team’s most action-packed adventure yet so expect all the thrills and spills of Fireman Sam stories with added jeopardy, as mad-cap professor Polonium visits Pontypandy and creates absolute chaos in the village. This is one not to be missed.”
