Harry Judd has admitted he is planning on keeping up his fake tan treatments when the Strictly Come Dancing tour is over. The McFly drummer and dancing champ is going on the road with the band straight after the Strictly live tour finishes, but revealed he might need to keep having his weekly tan top-ups. Harry confessed: "You know what, you get quite hooked on the fake tan. When they start everyone's like, 'I don't want to do the tan, no' but then once you have it there's no going back. "It is quite addictive, but then it goes all patchy, my hands are white but my arms are browny-orange." He added: "Robbie Savage is worse than me. No joke, he has about four or five layers." The 26-year-old musician is looking forward to being reunited with the rest of McFly for their tour. He said: "I think life for us has kind of settled in the past few years and it's very natural. "It's all four of us, and our girlfriends come along and life on the road is quite nice really. We do the shows in the evening, and hang out in the day, it's good." McFly are performing at the Aviva Premiership Rugby clash between Saracens and Harlequins at Wembley on Saturday March 31. Tickets are available at www.saracensatwembley.com.
