Line Of Duty star Stephen Graham says his dyslexia is so bad that he has to let his wife choose his TV roles.
Stephen asks his actress wife Hannah Walters to read scripts for him and let him know whether or not he should take a part.
The actor has been open about his struggle with the learning difficulty and said he relies on help from his other half.
Discussing his rehearsal process during the BAFTA Sessions on performance with fellow nominees for the British Academy Television Awards, Graham referred to his experiences with Shane Meadows, with whom he worked on the This Is England series.

He said: "With Shane you spend a lot of time getting into the character and you spend the majority of time doing that and then when you're in the room it's whatever happens.
"With the script it's knowing it, knowing it, knowing it and then throwing it away."
He added: "I'm dyslexic so I struggle. My missus actually reads the script and says whether or not I'm doing it. She's made some good choices.
"I have to read it and read it and read it, then make it look like it's the first time I'm saying it."
Stephen, who is nominated in the best supporting actor category for his work on Save Me, recently stunned viewers with his character's shock death on Line Of Duty.
John Corbett was killed off in the latest episode of the hit police drama as he tried to quit the group he was undercover with before getting his throat cut.
Stephen appeared on the BAFTA panel alongside Killing Eve star Fiona Shaw, who discussed the "trilogy of women" at the heart of the show, in which she stars alongside Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh.

She referred to "the binary choices between good and evil, and the 'virgin' Jodie plays, who's the most charming, most evil person, and the good person in Sandra's Eve, who is becoming less good, and she's the 'middle-aged', and then there is 'the crone' (Shaw's own role), as it were, in the scheme who is sometimes negotiating between the two".
