AN ICE-SKATING star is to host a masquerade ball for children’s hospice charity Demelza.

Robin Cousins will be joined by ex-Blue heartthrob Duncan James and cast members from the West End on March 20.

This year the ball will be held at Greenwich’s world famous Painted Hall.

Olympic ice-skating champion Mr Cousins is also a regular judge on hit TV show Dancing On Ice.

Mr James will perform songs from Chicago while other theatre stars will sing a medley of hits from the classic muscial Phantom of the Opera.

The charity is till raising funds for its new children’s hospice in Eltham, due to open later this year.

A limited number of tickets for the event are still available.
