Rhys Ifans says karaoke makes him sick.

The actor and Peth singer has never tried the popular pastime because following music lyrics on screen makes him feel nauseous.

He said: "I've never sung karaoke - I hate it, it gets me nervous. I can't read and sing at the same time. I just keep following the dot and it makes me feel sick."

I've never sung karaoke - I hate it, it gets me nervous. I can't read and sing at the same time. I just keep following the dot and it makes me feel sick.

The 'Boat That Rocked' star also confessed he has an embarrassing favourite band - British 90s group Steps.

He admitted: "The Steps greatest hits compilation makes me so emotional - the whole album, you can't pick one song off it because they're all winners."

Although Rhys feels too embarrassed to try karaoke, he wasn't afraid to pen a heartbreaking song about his ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller soon after the pair split last year.

The track featured lyrical outpourings from Rhys such as: "Every little thing you said would break me/All of it came true/Every bit of love I give/You mock it/Yes you do."
