British actor Jamie Campbell-Bower is being tipped to rival Robert Pattinson for the attentions of female fans in vampire sequel New Moon.

The 20-year-old - whose previous big screen credits include Rock N Rolla and Sweeney Todd - has revealed that he will play Edward Cullen's nemesis Caius, leader of the Volturi vampire gang, in the second instalment of the Twilight series.

But, whilst he may be squaring off against Robert on screen, in reality Jamie feels he is no match for fellow Brit star Rob, who was elevated to superstar status by the first film.

He tells the BBC, "I doubt I'll get the same sort of adulation as Robert - but it's always nice when people recognise you for your work."

When asked about how he prepared for the role, new kid on the block Jamie revealed: "I hadn't read the books before.

"But it's a great thing to be a part of, and it did very well last year."
