Strictly pros who stripped off – topless snaps and peachy rears to Playboy shoots

Strictly Come Dancing introduced viewers to the world of ballroom and dancing when it first launched in 2004.

Year on year the show takes our favourite celebrities, new and old, and transforms them into the best dancers you’ve ever seen.

The show kindly introduced us to the Strictly professional dancers, highly skilled and gorgeous-looking, ready to take our celebs from their day job, to the dancefloor.

But outside of their training roles on the show, Strictly pro dancers enjoy an incredible ‘stripped back’ time to themselves, baring all for the newly formed fanbases.

The Daily Star has compiled a list of some of the saucy moments our Strictly pros had when they chose to strip off.

Giovanni Pernice

In a particularly teasing video for now! magazine, Giovanni stood, nearly naked, as he rubbing his torso and incredible abs with some body lotion.

Teasing their viewers with more of the gorgeous pro dancer, now! edited the video, putting Giovanni’s preening activity into slow motion.

Viewers got a taste of what some of his celebrity dance partners and previous girlfriends, including Love Island’s Maura Higgins, got a taste of during their time with him.

Nadiya Bychkova

After dancing her heart out with this year’s dance partner Matt Goss, Nadiya took to Instagram to let her fans know that she was in need of some TLC.

Taking to a local spa, Nadiya stripped naked to receive a session of pampering. Posting the snap, revealing just her face, her toned arms and her stunningly blonde, slicked back locks, Nadiya angled the camera away from her naked body, leaving the rest to her follower’s imagination.

She added the caption: “After a full day of rehearsals, and busy couple of weeks, this is exactly what I needed.”

“A little bit of time for myself and face and body treatment from @endospheresuk_official. Now I feel like I can fly! Well to be honest I wouldn’t mind actually flying somewhere warm #justkidding”, Nadiya wrote.

Neil Jones

Neil was caught baring-all in a cheeky moment backstage during the Strictly tour by former co-star AJ Pritchard.

Sparing the blushes for Neil, AJ covered his modesty with large graphics, leaving only his toned abs on show as he stripped off. AJ made sure to tag Neil’s Instagram account for any ladies looking to see more of the pro dancer.

Cheeky professional dancer and brother to Love Island star Curtis had played a prank on Neil, hiding his trousers so he couldn’t find them in his time of need. AJ had also placed gym weights into his luggage as part of their pair’s prank war.

Tess Daly

Strictly’s iconic presenter Tess Daly also had a moment where she stripped off for the camera back before she’d made a name for herself.

Starring in British Band, The Beloved’s music video for the hit song, Sweet Harmony, Tess and various other models sat naked, surrounding frontman Jon Marsh.

Tess and the model’s lip synced along while clouds, fog and high-contrast effects hid the model’s modesty. Tess has since admitted she was “embarrassed” to have taken part in the video.

Ola Jordan

Flaunting her curves for an X-rated calendar shoot, former Strictly pro Ola Jordan defied Strictly bosses and stripped completely naked for her sexy shoot.

In one photo, a naked Ola steps into a pool, arching her body to show off her killer curves. Her blonde hair is slicked back as she gazes sultrily into the camera.

BBC execs were thought to have wanted to crack down on the side projects their Strictly stars can getup, with a source confirming near-naked shoots like Ola’s were a bit “tacky”.

“Strictly is the BBC’s flagship family show but bosses feel activities outside the ­programme are distracting away from the essence of it”, the source revealed. “It’s all started to get a bit tacky with near-naked photo shoots and books spilling the intimate details of relationships.”
