George Sampson lands role in Waterloo Road
18/02/2010 - 12:00
Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson has landed a role in Waterloo Road.
The breakdancer, 16, will play sixth former Kyle in the next series of the BBC1 school drama - and show sources say his character is a real 'heartbreaker'.
An insider told The Sun: "We really wanted George as he has loads of young fans. It's fair to say his character will be attracting the ladies.
"He'll be a regular and the plan is for his scenes to be on air during the second part of series six later this year."
George, who won the ITV1 talent show two years ago, is due to start filming soon.
George is keen to branch out from dancing after claiming he was dropped by Britain's Got Talent boss Simon Cowell because his act wasn't lucrative enough.
At the time, George said: "I suppose he has realised he can make more money out of other people."
