THE cast for Our House has been announced with former Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson confirmed as the latest addition to the UK tour.
The dancer, who has appeared in Emmerdale, Waterloo Road and Mount Pleasant, will take on the role of bad boy Reecey alongside Deena Payne, Jason Kajdi and Sophie Matthew in the Olivier Award-winning musical.
The show tells the story of Joe Casey, who on the night of his 16th birthday takes his dream girl on their first date.
But their love story doesn't run smoothly.
The former Birchwood Community High School pupil, who found his passion for performing by busking on the streets of Manchester at the age of twelve, shot to fame on the ITV series after impressing music mogul Simon Cowell.
He was just 14 years old when he went on to win the popular programme’s second series in 2008 with his interpretation of Singing in the Rain.
Following the success of the show, he made his stage debut in the West End hip-hop musical Into the Hoods
