The Hippodrome Casino is advertising for 'door dwarfs' as it seeks to put together a team of "Britain's smallest bouncers".

The venue, in Leicester Square, wants people under the height of 4'10" to help look after customers and nip any trouble in the bud.

An advert in yesterday's Metro newspaper read: "Door Dwarfs required for The Hippodrome Casino, London.

"The Hippodrome is seeking to create a team of Britain's smallest bouncers - Door Dwarfs - for its new entrance in Cranbourn Street, Leicester Square.

"Duties include door control and customer relations.

"We welcome applications from those under 4ft 10 inches."

The team of Door Dwarves should be in place by December, according to reports.

Simon Thomas, the owner of the Hippodrome Casino, told LBC: "We wanted to add some extra spectacle to Leicester Square.

"The Hippodrome is a building with a rich tradition of theatrical innovation with a history of dwarf acts appearing here. It fits perfectly with the way we do things here – differently, with a lot of fun involved, and we think they will be very effective on the door."
