Washington, Apr 28 : Hollywood actress Dame Helen Mirren has revealed that her husband has banned her from singing around home, because her tuneless humming leaves him irritated.

The Queen star revealed that although she loves to belt out tracks, her director husband Taylor Hackford insists she should keep quiet.

"I''ve got no musical abilities whatsoever. I sing if I''m listening to music. I sing along with it - I can hit the note if I''ve just heard it," Contactmusic quoted Mirren, as saying.

"My husband is very musical. He just hates to hear me sing - he shuts me up!" Mirren added. (ANI)
