Sting gets in a twist on TV

Yoga fan Sting flexed his limbs on a chat show by balancing on his head after twisting his legs into the lotus position.

The pop star demonstrated the complex posture on the studio floor as he chatted to broadcaster Jonathan Ross about his love of the discipline.

Ross himself adopted a simpler pose which he claimed was called “the dog” during the BBC1 show Tonight with Jonathan Ross, which will be shown tomorrow evening.

Sting joked about claims regarding his sexual stamina which he had “haunted” him, saying: “I do yoga every day for one and a half hours and eight hours of love making in the evening,”

The former Police frontman who was sporting a beard said he grew a longer version but wife, Trudi Styler, made him shave it off because he looked like Osama Bin Laden.
