Ashleigh Butler will play Dick's love interest Alice Fitzwarren, while Pudsey will be her loyal steed.
Britain's Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern will also appear as Idle Jack in the panto.
"We are so excited to be performing in our first pantomime," said Butler.
"Drama and dance have been a big part of my life for many years and my grandma has taken us to the pantomime every Christmas for as long as I can remember.
"Being part of this panto is a very exciting prospect and I can't wait to take to the stage with Pudsey."
Calum Kemp of the New Victoria Theatre added: "We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming the sensational duo Ashleigh and Pudsey and entertainer and magician Stephen Mulhern to our theatre for Dick Whittington."
Ashleigh Butler is also tipped to star in this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
You know this is a bit worrying. What about the scene when the Dame throws sweets into the audience, won't Pudsey think it's a game of fetch and dive into the audience? Did have crazy idea of being on front row smeared in Winalot, that'd put him off

Why did I read that as "To Star in Porno"?
