Ben Stiller's festive fun was ruined when a worker on a U.K. talk show revealed what surprise Christmas gift he'd be getting from his wife.

The Zoolander star was preparing for is appearance on The Graham Norton Show last week (ends19Dec14) - to discuss his new movie Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb - when a crew member let slip what he'd be getting on Christmas morning from his actress wife Christine Taylor.

Stiller told the Tv presenter, "I was told I am getting a vintage skateboard by someone backstage. I'm not sure how you found out because it was meant to be a surprise from my wife.

"I saw an old vintage one online and mentioned it to her a while back. I have no idea how you found out. You guys are really good!"
