Tom Chambers says he would be a terrible headmaster.

The reigning 'Strictly Come Dancing' champ says he'd be a real softie compared to his tough 'Waterloo Road' character, executive head Max Tyler.

He said: "If I was a headmaster, I'd be a complete pushover, hanging out with the kids and playing pranks on the other teachers."

The 32-year-old actor said he'd rather be a teacher than a headmaster - and has a rather unusual subject in mind.

He said: "I think I would like to teach science. I was never that interested at school but now I find science and how things react with each other simply fascinating.

"If I was a headmaster, I'd be a complete pushover, hanging out with the kids and playing pranks on the other teachers."

"The journey that science has made since time began is the reason we are able to do what we can today."

Tom said that sparks would fly between Max and the Head of Pastoral Care Kim Campbell, played by Angela Griffin.

He said: "Max instantly saw Kim as an attractive woman with a strong personality within the school.

"He had instant chemistry and desire for her as well as knowing that if he quickly got her on his side as an ally, he could use her to his advantage when making changes within the school's policies."
