Comedian Marcus Brigstocke is to star in the new Magic Mike film.

Speaking on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Channel 4, Marcus said: “I’ve got a part in the new Magic Mike movie… I genuinely have, I’m not even kidding. I spent yesterday evening dancing next to Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek.

“I fancy myself as a bit of a dancer sometimes, I was a podium dancer. But, to be perfectly, honest, when Channing Tatum is dancing next to you, it’s amazing how uncoordinated you become. You know those inflatable things outside garages….

“It’s great, so exciting. I have probably already broken my NDA by telling you that. I will say this, the movie is fantastic. I’ve seen some of the stuff they’re shooting with the dancers and with Channing and it is mind-blowing.”

Steph’s Packed Lunch airs weekdays at 12.30pm on Channel 4 and All 4.
