May’s steamy knight out with Anita

QUEEN guitarist Sir Brian May and his wife, the former Eastenders star Anita Dobson, looked like they were members of the cast when they turned up to watch Cirque Du Soleil’s latest show, Kurious, at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

The circus spectacular has the theme of ‘Steampunk’ — a science fiction genre inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.

And the rocker, 75, and Dobson, 73, arrived in fancy costumes in keeping with the evening’s theme. ‘We were already into steampunk so we thought we would go for it,’ Sir Brian tells me.
