    Sir Mick Jagger's youngest son dances more like him than his ballerina mother

    The 81-year-old rocker has seven-year-old Deveraux with partner Melanie Hamrick and while the former dancer admitted the little boy is already very comfortable on stage, she doesn't want to put any "pressure" on him


    She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I can't wait to see what he does but I don't want to put pressure on him, as between Mick and I, that's a lot of pressure.

    "When I hear him sing in school shows, I say things like, 'Oh my God, his singing voice was amazing. Did everyone hear that?' And then I think, 'Melanie, let him be a kid! Don't be a stage parent.'

    "He has more confidence and freedom in his style - like Mick, who is unique when he dances.

    "I feel as though Dev's got that feeling of, 'This is how I'm dancing - I'm the best."

    The family travel a lot, but at their home in France they have four cats, four chickens, four dogs, two rabbits and even five sheep.

    Melanie said: "We rescued the sheep. I had mentioned it would be nice to have some, as we have the space.

    "I told someone in the area and they told me about a farmer who had a mother and three baby sheep that he didn't want. I said, 'We're taking them!'

    "At first, they wouldn't come near us but now they're like dogs.

    "When I pull into the driveway, they come out of their little house and follow the car.

    "I call their names and they come running. They like a little scratch on the head and they like to be scratched behind the ears."

    Although Melanie worked with Mick on 2019 ballet 'Porte Rouge', which was set to music by the Rolling Stones, she insisted it isn't something they are looking to do again and thinks it would be "quite boring" for them to collaborate frequently.

    She said: "When we did 'Porte Rouge', we knew it was a one-off and that we wouldn't be working together all the time.

    "We did have a good time with it.

    "I knew what songs I wanted and I would say, 'Can you cut it here?' and he would say, 'You can't just cut it there.'

    "So it was interesting to learn and laugh about that.

    "It was nice that he trusted me and I trusted him to connect it together. But I have to say, I think working together full-time would be quite boring.

    "I would definitely collaborate with him again, but it's not something I want to do all the time."
