Gervais and Travolta take to the dance floor

It's hardly the tango, but Hollywood actor John Travolta and The Office star Ricky Gervais have created a dance all of their own.

The two disco icons took to the floor together in a sequence that has fortunately - or not - been captured on camera.

Travolta reprised the seventies moves that made him a household name in Saturday Night Fever.

And Gervais did his best to match him by resurrecting the infamous "David Brent dance" that featured in series two of The Office.

The unlikely partners performed while filming tonight's episode of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

It emerges during the show that Travolta has been offered a guest role in Gervais's last ever episode of Extras. He told Ross: "I'll probably do anything Ricky Gervais says."
