Talent runs in the family for brothers Edward and William Cooke, who have become stars of stage and screen.
Edward, ten, is starring in the West End smash-hit production of Oliver!
The youngster is playing young Oliver Twist in the show at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, after impressing producer Cameron Mackintosh at auditions.
He stars opposite Griff Rhys Jones as Fagin and Jodie Prenger, who won the role of Nancy in BBC1’s I’d Do Anything.
Edward’s brother, William, seven, stars in a TV commercial for Oreos biscuits, playing a boy whose dog tries to eat his biscuits.
The brothers, who live in Thackley, are pupils at Idle theatre school Stage 84.
