Marilyn Manson loves watching nature shows - about baboons.

The shock rocker's wife, Dita von Teese, says the couple love lounging in front of the TV watching shows about the animal kingdom.

She revealed: "We like nature shows, about baboons or whatever - but they're really all quite similar."

The burlesque dancer also admitted the pair like watching reality TV - so they can mock the contestants.

She revealed to Britain's Grazia magazine: "We watch those people who are so desperate to be famous and we laugh at their behaviour."

Meanwhile, the stylish star claims Manson is the "sweetest" man she's ever met - despite his outrageous antics.

She said: "Manson is my soul-mate. He gets me completely and I totally understand him.

"People see him as this scary monster but he's the most gentle, sweet, honourable man I have ever known - and I have known a few. We make each other happy."
