It was the moves that captured the nation's attention earlier this year and now ABBA icon Bjorn Ulvaeus has had his say on the Prime Minister's moves.

Theresa May went viral back in August when she was filmed busting some moves with school pupils on a trip to South Africa.


The 61-year-old was seen throwing some shapes before and after her 12-hour flight to the country where she announced a new scheme, The Chevening Scholarship, which will boost foreign students' education.

After pretty much breaking the internet with gifs and memes, in good spirit, Mrs May decided to dance her way onto the stage for her keynote speech to the Conservative Party conference in October.

And the song of choice? None other than the Swedish pop group's hit, Dancing Queen.

Now, ABBA's Bjorn has spoken about the headline moment, describing the country's leader as not having a lot of rhythm.

He told The Andrew Marr Show: "It made the news, even in Sweden. I think she was very brave in doing that.

"It's a lady with not a lot of rhythm in her braving and doing something like that.

"I was kind of touched actually."

The 70s group are set to reunite to make new music ahead of a digital avatar tour.

Abba's Bjorn said he was "touched" by Theresa May's Dancing Queen
But the Swedish star said the Prime Minister doesn't have "a lot of rhythm"
Abba star Bjorn Ulvaeus has said he felt “touched” when Theresa May came on stage to Dancing Queen at the Conservative Party conference.

Ulvaeus, who wrote the song for the Swedish band in 1975, said her shimmying to the hit song before her keynote speech made the news in Sweden.

However, speaking on The Andrew Marr show, he added that although he thought she was very brave to do that, he doesn’t think she has much rhythm.

He said: “I saw it, yes I did. It made the news, even in Sweden. I think she was very brave in doing that.

‘Not a lot of rhythm’
“It’s a lady with not a lot of rhythm in her braving and doing something like that. I was kind of touched actually.”

Ulvaeus spoke about Brexit when he appeared on BBC’s The One Show in October.

He said that his response had softened after initially feeling that it was “like a friend not wanting to be a friend anymore.

But he added: “But we have come a long way since then and I’ve come to realise that Britain will always be Britain whatever happens.”

Ulvaeus also spoke about Abba’s plans for a comeback, saying they had been pushed back.

They previously announced they were getting back together to make new music ahead of their digital avatar tour.

‘Britain will always be Britain’
“We’ve written a new song and recorded that and this will be sung by those digital twins.”

He added that it had been delayed and explained: “It was supposed to be released this autumn, but (it will) probably be in the beginning of next summer.”

He described the avatars as “like digital twins of ourselves, version 1979 thereabouts”, adding: “The ladies seem to think that they were the finest back then.

“They will be… our cyber twins and they will be able to do anything and sing anything. I’ll be a street dancer if I want to. I couldn’t back then but can now.”
