Cat Deeley has admitted she is the “clumsiest person going” and “beyond help” on the dancefloor.
The Brit stunned a US late-night talk show host when she pointed out bruises on her long legs.
Deeley said that, despite presenting US television hit So You Think You Can Dance, she definitely cannot dance herself.
“Absolutely not,” she told Conan O’Brien. “By no means, shape or form.
“If I started to dance on screen, people would bleed from their eyes. I’m doing the American public a favour by not trying. The choreographers walk past me and think ‘she’s beyond help’.”
To laughter from the host and the audience, she then said the only move she has is “this shoulder shimmy” as she shrugged her shoulders and moved her arms from side to side slightly.
“It’s sensible (not to dance) because I’m the clumsiest person going,” she added. “I mean I’m too tall, I’m not in control of my flailing limbs.”
Deeley said: “I’ve got cuts and bruises all over me. I’ve got cuts on my legs and burns.”
“That was from a police motorbike, that one,” she continued as the host ogled her legs. “That was burned by the exhaust.”
The usually chatty O’Brien was so taken aback he decided not to enquire further.
“Ok I don’t even want to know what happened,” he said as he tried to regain his composure.
