Strictly Come Dancing: Robbie Savage's Striptease Stunt

Strictly Savage: Robbie's Striptease Fails To Impress Judges

Robbie Savage has raised eyebrows with a Strictly Come Dancing striptease stunt that saw him whip off his trousers as he danced the samba.

It was not quite the Full Monty, but the ex-footballer did reveal his legs during the routine, which he performed with his partner Ola Jordan to the Hot Chocolate hit You Sexy Thing.

As the dance neared its climax, Robbie stripped down to a pair of bright blue football shorts, accompanied by a pair of blue football socks.

But the saucy caper was not to everyone's taste. Judge Craig Revel Horwood dismissed the dance as "way too extravagant", quipping that Robbie's fingers looked like they belonged in a 10-pin bowling ball.

He reserved his harshest criticism for the strip routine however. "That last bit, the gratuitous sort of inane reveal to no avail, was inessential," he said.

Judge Bruno Tonioli was also scathing, telling Robbie his samba was "like a kangaroo with lead feet". He was awarded 25 out of 40 points overall.

Harry Judd, from boy band McFly, put him to shame when he won the highest score of the series so far.

Judges awarded him and his partner Aliona Vilani a total of 39 out of 40 for their quickstep - despite Craig accusing Harry of having a "lazy left foot".

The pair also came top in the "swingathon" that provided the finale to this week's show.

The energetic dance-off by all the contestants saw Robbie and his partner booted off first and awarded only one point.
