THE Krankies admitted they are sick of curry now that they have returned from India - but that didn’t stop them cooking up a special one to thank SECC staff.

The hilarious pair, who star in Cinderella, invited me down to join in with their shenanigans at the weekend as they stirred up some chicken and veg curries for this year’s panto team.

Ian said: “We’re feeding the SEC staff. We made this earlier.” And Jeanette added: “I’m sick of Indian curry because we had it every day when we were in India and even the scrambled eggs on the morning tasted of curry.

“I think they must have used the same pots, so when I got home I didn’t have a curry for ages.”

Ian laughed: “I still prefer mince and potatoes. Since then we’ve had mince and potatoes, stew, lamb chops and beef Wellington.”

As well as seeing the fandabidozi couple in this year’s panto with Jonathan Watson and Gavin Mitchell, we’ll soon be able to catch the Krankies in Mexico as part of the follow up to their Real Marigold Hotel experience.

I’m more excited about that than a Mexican jumping bean.
