Matt Willis is taking to London's West End stage to perform in the theatre adaptation of hit '80s movie Flashdance.

The ex-Busted star will play Nick Hurley in the production - the part taken by Michael Nouri in the 1983 favourite, and Willis can't believe his luck, admitting he has wanted to perform in the British capital's renowned theatre district since he was a teenager.

On his Twitter.com page, he writes, "I am finally gonna be in the West End! Wanted 2 since I was 14! This is gonna be awesome!"

The main part of Alex, the dancing welder, will be played by revered stage star Victoria Hamilton-Barritt.
