Nick Miles says Kelvin Fletcher always used to "flash his buttocks" when it was time to go home on nights out with their 'Emmerdale' co-stars.

The 56-year-old star - who plays Jimmy King on the ITV soap - is supporting his former Dales colleague, who played Andy Sugden, on the BBC Latin and ballroom show, and admitted the show is not the first time he has seen Kelvin's derriere moves.

Nick said: "Kelvin always had a little bit of a party trick.

When it was time for a taxi, a flash of the buttocks was the way we knew he needed to go home.

"So there's a little bit of ribbing on Twitter about that.

"I think he's brilliant [on the show]."

But Nick cannot see himself appearing on 'Strictly' anytime soon.

When asked on 'Lorraine' if he would ever consider doing 'Strictly', he added: "Uh ... what's the money like?

"I don't think so, I'd just be a laughing stock.

"I remember a dance teacher once saying to me, 'Can we all look at Nick Miles please, he's got this wonderful body line and he hasn't got a clue what to do with it.'

"That was literally the example of what not to do in class.

"It looks hard work.

"Kelvin is very fit and he said he was aching from top to toe in the first week."

Last year, Nick admitted he still gets "butterflies" filming 'Emmerdale' scenes - despite being on the show since 2004.

He wrote on Twitter: "First day back at #Emmerdale today after my hols. It's a five line scene on location in which I have one line. After fourteen years playing Jimmy King I still have butterflies. #lovemyjob (sic)"

As well as having butterflies, Nick previously admitted he has developed a love of other flying objects, birds, since he first joined the Leeds-based soap.

He said: "We're usually standing around on set going, 'This isn't bad, is it?' While shivering and helping to keep each other warm.

"But since I've been here I've developed a love of birds and raptors, just from watching the red kites above our village."
