Strictly fans go wild as 'legendary' Tony Adams strips to his shorts
‘That took some glitter balls’: Strictly fans go wild as ‘legendary’ Tony Adams, 55, strips to his shorts during his samba… as they slam ‘harsh’ Craig Revel Horwood for scoring the football ace just 2 points
Stictly Come Dancing returned for it’s third live show on Saturday for Movies Week, with Tony Adams and his partner Katya Jones taking on a Full Monty routine.
And the Football Manager, 55, didn’t hold back either, sending fans into meltdown as he stripped off his security costume to reveal just a pair of sequinned shorts.
Taking to Twitter, viewers dubbed him a ‘legend’ as they praised the routine, evening calling for him to win the show – despite a ‘harsh’ mark of just two points out of ten from judge Craig Revel Horwood.

Dancing to The Full Monty’s hot stuff, Tony began in a security guard uniform, before stripping his trousers off to reveal a pair of sparkly red shorts – later ripping his shirt open to bare his torso.
His partner Katya Jones was clad in a sequin emblazoned jumpsuit for the routine, dancing around her partner before covering the sportsman’s nipple with his hat in a comedic moment to finish the performance.
But despite the high energy levels and feel-good performance, the duo were unable to pull the scores in and landed bottom of the leaderboard with 18 out of 40 points.

Unimpressed, judge Craig scored Tony and Katya a mere two points out of ten, while Shirley added that while she thought ‘Tony had a good pelvic roll’, it was a four.
Despite failing to top the leaderboard, the former centre-back recieved full marks from viewers at home – with may dubbing it ‘the best thing i’ve seen on TV in a long time’.
‘This is what Strictly is about and you were both fab,’ encouraged one viewer, while another said ‘That is one of the greatest things i’ve ever seen in BBC Strictly history’.
Another tweeted: ‘That was brilliant well done @TonyAdams, that took some glitter balls’.

The at-home audience were also quick to question Craig’s low score, branding the notoriously picky judge as ‘harsh’.
Disagreeing with the judge, one wrote ‘Definately better than a 2 @CraigRevHorwood, I usually agree with your comments but that was harsh scoring!’
‘Craig got out of bed on the wrong side this week,’ jested another.
Many also compared the performance to Katya and Ed Ball’s iconic Gangman style performance back in 2016, which went down in history of Strictly performances – with the former MP channeling PSY’s viral dancemoves.

It was even nominated for the Must-See Moment Award at the 2017 Television BAFTAs.
And the public outroar could secure Tony a place in next week’s show as one couple will be voted out by the public during Sunday’s results show.
Meanwhile, Tyler West and Dianne Buswell may have also guaranteed themselves a place there, after topping the leaderboard with an impressive score of 38 points out of 40.
