“I am proud to have played a part in clearing that path for women of the next generation — and the next.”

She was talking to mark five years of the smash hit West End show Tina: The Tina Turner Musical.

Tina, who quit performing in 2009 after a 50th anniversary tour, said the show was the closest some would get to seeing her perform.

But she also joked: “Sometimes I think I’m as famous for my legs as much as my voice.

“I only had my legs on show so much as it made it much easier to dance . . . and then it became part of my style.

“When I was younger I never felt confident about any part of my body, but with all the attention my legs received, I realised they must be OK.”
