British comedian Alan Davies has admitted that he would love to take part in a Winter Olympics for Team GB.
The 47-year-old Jonathan Creek actor, who claims to be an 'average skier', believes that he could prove useful in the four-man bobsleigh.
In a tongue-in-cheek Radio Times piece, Davies wrote: "I wish I could compete in the Winter Olympics.
"Despite being an average skier, in my mind I'm a really fast slalom skier – for years I thought I had an undiscovered talent. Then, on holiday, someone filmed me doing a child's slalom course and when I watched it I realised it would have been quicker if I'd walked.
"No, if I was going to do an event, I'd be the second man in the four-man bobsleigh. You just have to keep your head down! It's like being a passenger in a dangerous taxi. And even I could do that."
The comedian hosts a show on BBC2 called Alan Davies Apres-Ski this evening, in which he will discuss, among other things, the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
