Lewis Loud

"Lewis Loud, Standing Proud"

- Lewis's catchphrase

Lewis Loud is the ex-husband of Gina, the father of Paul and the main protagonist of the 2012 ITV Christmas special Panto!.

He is a DJ who works at Morecambe FM and prepares to make his stage debut as Jack the Lad in the local pantomime Dick Whittington, which also stars soap star Tamsin (who is playing Dick), whom Lewis is in a relationship with.

However, when doing dress rehearsal, Lewis's ex-wife Gina leaves him to care for their son Paul while she and her new partner go on holiday after winning a competition. Throughout the film, Lewis has to juggle caring for Paul and preparing for the pantomime.

In the end, Lewis chooses family over love when he turns down Tamsin's offer of quitting the pantomime to take part in a reality show, and instead chooses to be in the pantomime and be with Paul.

He is played by English comedian and actor John Bishop.
