Washington, Sept 25 (ANI): Veteran actress Jane Seymour has revealed that she agreed to participate in U.S. reality TV show 'Dancing with the Stars' to please her ailing mum.

The British beauty, whose mother suffered a stroke, revealed that her mother, left incapacitated by a stroke, had uttered her first words when the actress told her about her participation plans.

"I was really, really sad, because my mom had a stroke, and she's in a nursing home, and she can't talk anymore and she can't move," Contactmusic quoted Seymour, as saying.

"I'd been asked to do Dancing With The Stars and I mentioned it to her over the phone... and my mother started trying to talk. She went, 'Wuhwuhwuh,' she got so excited.

"So then I said, 'Well, mummy, I'm going to do it for you, and I hope you'll be proud'.

"So I'm doing it for her. And they're going to show it in England two days after we do it here, so she'll actually be able to see it," she added. (ANI)
