Burn Gorman has landed the role of Bill Sykes in Cameron Mackintosh's latest production of Oliver, say reports.

The Bleak House actor will line up alongside the winners of BBC reality show I'd Do Anything at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, reports the Daily Mail.

Gorman's credits include Torchwood, Layer Cake and Colour Me Kubrick. Nick Knowles and Danny Dyer were previously linked to the part.

Rowan Atkinson is already confirmed to play Fagin in the show. The production opens in December.
