Actor Richard Armitage, best known for playing Thorin in The Hobbit films, has been announced as the new ambassador of online bullying charity Cybersmile, joining fellow ambassadors Fifth Harmony and Danielle Peazer.

Armitage commented 'I'm delighted to be assisting Cybersmile in the efforts to make the internet a more pleasant place to find friends, explore and have fun. I hope my thoughts and feelings connect with everyone, and that we can enjoy social media and online interaction without fear of bullying, and take the same feelings of goodwill into our real life social interactions as well'.
