Millie Inbetween actor Millie Innes makes her RSNO debut telling Raymond Briggs’ festive tale, the highlight of this year’s Christmas Concerts.

The BAFTA-nominated actress, who recently celebrated her 17th birthday, rose to fame in 2010 performing alongside fellow Scottish actor David Tennant as his on-screen daughter in BBC One drama Single Father and with Star Trek and Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs in the Edinburgh-based BBC series Case Histories.

Since 2014 she has starred in her own sitcom series Millie Inbetween which airs on CBBC.

Innes says, “I’m so excited to be working with the RSNO and it’s a great honour to be involved in this Christmas classic.

“The Snowman is a such a lovely story and something we can all enjoy as a family. I also look forward to collaborating with conductor Christopher Bell, who, I’m told, knows how to throw a great Christmas party.”
