COLDPLAY - MARTIN'S HORRIFYING DANCE SKILLS

COLDPLAY frontman CHRIS MARTIN's dancing abilities will be on display tomorrow (18JUN05) on an MTV show - but the embarrassing routine is expected to destroy his credibility.

The SPEED OF SOUND star appears in TWO FINGERS TO POVERTY, which features footage of the rocker dancing enthusiastically with local people in Ghana, but his efforts had the crew praying he sticks to singing instead.

An MTV spokesman says, "I think it's fair to say Chris Martin won't be winning any prizes on (TV show) STRICTLY COME DANCING."
