Strictly Come Dancing star Anita Dobson has revealed that her husband, Queen's Brian May, is a dreadful dancer.
Ex-EastEnders actress Dobson told Digital Spy that her improving ballroom dance skills were not rubbing off on May, who has been in the studio audience supporting her every week.
"Brian is not a dancer at all. It's just not in his body," Dobson told DS. "It's not a concept that fits well with him.
"He's a mathematician and all of his musicality is in his head and fingertips. I think it's enough that it goes from his head to his hands and makes these wonderful sounds. Musically there is no limit to where he can go creatively, but it's not a physical thing."
The actress, who is partnered on the show by Robin Windsor, added: "But we can't do everything, darling. It would be unfair if he could do both!"
Dobson finished in the bottom two on last weekend's show, despite impressing the judges with her Argentine tango and picking up 33 points.
The Strictly Come Dancing Wembley special airs on Saturday (November 19) at 6.55pm on BBC One.
Speaking about getting the chance to dance at Wembley, Dobson laughed: "My husband has played at Wembley so many times, it's wonderful to say, 'Guess what I'm doing this Saturday - I'm playing Wembley!'"
