Kate Beckinsale says she is a terrible cook because she is so good at sex.

The actress - who is married to director Len Wiseman - loves having people over for dinner, but admits she is terrible in the kitchen.

She said: "I'm the worst wife in the cooking department. I always thought you can't be good at food and sex, but you can always order the food in.

"I would rather he didn't order in the sex!"

She also explained her recent comments that her genitals are her best asset.

She explained to Britain's Glamour magazine: "I just thought it would be arrogant to say my chin or my eyes. I'm a very bad celebrity. I can't be enigmatic so I said the first thing which popped into my head, which was my vagina. Well, I didn't actually come out and say it, but I hinted. I'm allergic to that question."
