Former Pop Idol winner Will Young has been crowned the most in-demand West End star by a new poll.

According to Viagogo, more than 10,000 fans secured tickets to watch him perform in 'Cabaret' which catapulted the production to the top of the site's most in-demand shows.

Ed Parkinson, from Viagogo, explained in a statement that Young has been incredibly popular with theatre lovers and it's no surprise because he is very talented:

"Will Young was one of the most popular live acts when he toured last year. It seems that his talent knows no bounds as he's now taking the stage by storm too."

In third place is the musical adaptation of 'Shrek', which stars Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh, and 'Wicked' came in seventh, which at the moment features former Busted pop-rocker Matt Willis.
