While they used to help attract female attention, he said they now just lead people to film him.

‘I might have got a couple of snogs off the back of a few dance moves in my time,’ he said.

‘For me, it was always, hit the dance floor as much as possible with good tunes, break out a few decent moves and see if anyone is magnetised to the moves. Then Inbetweeners comes along, I use it, and then I’ve never been able to dance again. It’s the bane of my life.’

‘Now whenever I’m at a ­wedding, if I go even near the dance floor, you see guests pulling their phones out to try and film you. And you’re like, “Ah, I can’t do it now”.’

Around the same time the actor admitted he was also surprised people still tuned in years later and that he was unable to comprehend its success.

‘You’d be amazed at how young some kids are when they do watch it,’ he explained, revealing some parents are allowing their nine-year-olds to tune in,’ he explained.

‘People come up to me, “He loves the show.” I’m like, “How old is he?”’ “He’s nine”.’

Blake then joked he was shocked at the revelation and questioned their parenting decisions.
