Panto dwarfs say they are being put out of work this Christmas and replaced by taller actors performing on their knees.

The diminutive actors are paid around £1,200-a-week over the festive period to star in popular shows like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

But with an average-sized actor charging just £450 to £750 they are being asked to go on their knees to play Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sneezy and Sleepy.
