“Here’s the trick of doing stuff you can get away with: you’ve got to be brutally honest with yourself. If you don’t get it you can’t sell it," he recently explained (via The Sun).

“If you can’t dance, you can’t sell it, no matter how big a showman you are. Stick to what you know best. I’ve been asked a couple of times to go on Strictly.

“But I’m not a dancer. I don’t even think I’m a good dad dancer. I’m a bad dad dancer, which makes things even worse," he added.

The Doctor Who actor also spoke about his admiration for his son, Barney Walsh. "He’s such a lovely guy. My son Barney is the man I always wanted to be because he’s so laid-back and so humble.”
