“It’s on the bucket list.

“If I win the Oscar then I’ll come and do it. How’s that?”

Radebe made history on the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing as part of the first all-male couple, dancing with The Great British Bake Off 2012 winner John Whaite.

The duo finished as runners-up behind Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice.

“I have to say that last year, you two dancing together that was one of the highlights of last year for me,” she told Radebe.

“It brought so much joy and was a proper game changing moment where we all went ‘yes of course two guys should be dancing together’.

“It was just so completely joyful – thank you so much.”

Beckett said that he would also probably do Strictly, “when Lou (his wife) leaves me.”

The Graham Norton Show is available on BBC iPlayer.
