Little Britain star Matt Lucas has revealed that the vision of 1980s loveliness that was Wales' very own version of Elvis Presley used to float his pre-teenage boat.
Matt told Attitude that staring at a poster of Shakin' Stevens was one of his first homo memories:
“The first time I’d an inkling I was gay was looking at that picture when I was seven.
“I’m sure the thoughts weren’t sexual, but there was something there.
“Later on, at an all-boys private school, my feelings for the same sex dominated.”
Stevens, who turned 59 earlier this month, was the top selling UK singles artist of the 1980s. He wore very tight jeans and moved his hips a lot, just like Elvis.
He still performs regularly and has a new album coming out this year.
Oh, we came over all Buzzcocks there!
Well who can deny that old shaky is a handsome lad... Well - was anyway!
I'm not sure Matt Lucas would still go for him now...
