Nick Jonas, the youngest member of the American pop sensations The Jonas Brothers, is currently treading the West End boards in Les Miserables.

The ex-boyfriend of Miley Cyrus has taken on the role of Marius, a baron who falls in love with young Cosette.

It is not the first time the singer has appeared in the musical. He played Gavroche on Broadway when he was ten and apparently told his parents then that he would be back one day to play Marius.

The 17-year-old got his wish, and after his performance tweeted: "Thanks to everyone for the good luck messages. Congrats to all my cast mates. Goodnight."

Nick's parents and brothers Kevin and Joe were in the audience to support him on opening night.
