Leading the all-star cast is Union J’s JJ Hamblett who stars as The Prince.

Audiences will know JJ Hamblett as member of boy band Union J – who appeared on the ninth series of The X Factor. The group’s debut single Carry You was released in June 2013 followed by their self-titled debut album in October 2013.
