Rob James-Collier played Liam Connor in Coronation Street
The former Coronation Street actor, who plays evil footman Thomas Barrow, wasn't able to follow Maggie's moves.
‘I was nervous about it because I can't actually dance - unless it's break dancing,' says Rob, 35.
‘I stood on her toe and got the death-ray glare but I got through it. It was extremely nerve-wracking.
'Maggie was OK though.'
Rob and Maggie, 76 - who stars as Lady Violet Crawley - were filming a servants' ball scene for the special Christmas Day episode of Downtown Abbey.
‘Due to the fact that I was having a "Thomas haircut" that day, I missed the first 30 minutes of rehearsals and found that I couldn't keep up,' Rob tells the Sun.
‘I have two left feet and cannot waltz or indeed dance for toffee. But we had a laugh.
‘I suggested we do the lift from Dirty Dancing but she wasn't convinced I had the upper-body strength.'
