Congrats is in order for Jordi Whitworth!
The British singer and heartthrob has booked his first feature film, Dead Ringer, JJJ can exclusively announce.
Directed by Richard Colton and produced by Teamwork Films, Dead Ringer is an action film set in the murky underside of the pop music industry.

Dead Ringer will start shooting in London this week and is expected to be out in 2018.
Jordi is currently filming the second season of E4′s Stage School and will be releasing more original music this fall.
Jordi Whitworth appropriately named his brand new single — because it is “Fire”!
The British singer — who went solo after being in 2014 X-Factor boy band Overload — gave JJJ readers the first listen of his new song and we can’t get enough of it.
“The concept behind my new single ‘Fire’ is a story of two people who meet and have that instant spark,” Jordi tells JJJ about the track.
He adds, “Things move at a very fast pace, creating a high intensity ‘fire’ between the two.”
