Bryan Ferry

Veteran singer Bryan Ferry is baffled by his reputation as a womaniser - insisting he's always been "terrible" at approaching potential girlfriends.

The star dated models Amanda Lear and Jerry Hall in the mid-1970s before marrying socialite Lucy Helmore in 1982. The couple, who had four sons, divorced in 2003, and Ferry has moved on to a relationship with former public relations manager Amanda Sheppard.

Despite his lengthy romantic resume, the singer is adamant he's "not great" with women compared to his Roxy Music bandmate Brian Eno. He tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "I'm not great at all with women. I've got no confidence. I'm terrible at chatting up girls. Dreadful. I've never been the guy in the nightclub who could go up to women and know what to say.

"I've sat back and watched other men do it. Some guys, like Brian Eno, are completely remarkable. That's never been me. Ever. I've always found it difficult to meet girls."
