Channing Tatum has revealed he “definitely” wants to star in Magic Mike Live in London — but needs to get into shape first.

The actor, 38, thrilled fans last night with a cameo appearance at the live final of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, filmed at Hammersmith Apollo.

He was there to announce the West End-run of the hugely successful Las Vegas show Magic Mike Live, which opens at the Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square in November.

The production is a spin-off of the Magic Mike films starring Tatum, which are based on the actor’s experience of working as a stripper in Florida when he was 18.

"I got to go do a movie that’ll make me get in shape again and then I’ll do it.

“I would love to come to London. If I dance in Vegas I’m definitely going to dance here.”

Tatum surprised BGT fans during Sunday's show as he walked out on stage at the end of the routine, having previously told viewers that he couldn't make the trip.

Moments after Tatum and his crew’s appearance, Lost Voice Guy was crowned series 12 winner.

About 15,000 London tickets worth about £1 million were sold within an hour of going on sale last night. magicmikelondon.co.uk/book-tickets
