Humphries joins 'I'd Do Anything' judges

Rex Features

Dame Edna Everage alter-ego Barry Humphries is to be a judge on new talent search I'd Do Anything.

The BBC show will look for young stars to play Nancy and Oliver in Cameron Mackintosh's forthcoming revival of the musical Oliver!

As with previous West End searches How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? and Any Dream Will Do, Graham Norton will host proceedings with Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Humphries will join John Barrowman and Denise Van Outen on the judging panel.

The 74-year-old got his break on the British stage as Mr Sowerby in a 1960 production of the musical. He also played Fagin in the Piccadilly Theatre's revival in 1967 and in Mackintosh's award-winning show at the London Palladium.

I'd Do Anything begins next month on BBC One.
