Fab outfits light up Strictly

As well as the sambas, salsas, rumbas and foxtrots, one of the things that keeps us glued to the screen when Strictly Come Dancing is on, is what fabulous outfits the celebrity contestants will be wearing.

Some take more convincing than others, but eventually nearly all of the boys crack out the (sequinned) guns and get those oiled, fake tanned heavages on show (that’s male cleavages if you’re not familiar). This series is no different, and we’ve been treated to more than a fleeting glance of Harry Judd’s glistening pecs as he dances the night away with redheaded professional dance partner Aliona Vilani. People looking at the Strictly Come Dancing odds should remember this.

Also treating us to a glimpse of the old oiled chest and shiny guns this series are former footballer and sporter of the most luscious golden locks on tele, Robbie Savage; TV presenter and very tall person Dan Lobb; former boxer and man mountain Audley Harrison; and fan of colourful coats, Jason Donavan.

Impressionist Rory Bremner and astrological barrel of fun Russell Grant are maintaining their modesty with a more covered up look, but never one to be accused of subtlety, Russell has been compensating admirably by reportedly using up the show’s entire budget for rhinestones in his outfits. Those following the Strictly Come dancing winner odds should bear this in mind.

But enough about the men, what about the female contestants? Well, this week’s show featured a rather fabulous cat suit, sported by none other than Welsh wonder and The One Show presenter, Alex Jones. Seasoned Strictly fans will recall a previous memorable cat suit moment on the show, brought to us by professional dancer Ola Jordan.

In week one of Strictly Come Dancing series six, the mini sex siren strutted her stuff in a hot to trot figure-hugging cat suit. So did the thinking man’s Christine Bleakley compare? It’s a close call!
