Strictly Come Dancing fans were in hysterics and the judges were speechless after football legend Tony Adams stripped off during his dance! 

Tony, who's dancing with professional Katya Jones, took to the floor in Movie Week to dance a samba to an iconic song from The Full Monty - I Believe in Miracles by Hot Chocolate.

Before the dance, Tony and Katya watched the film which includes a namecheck for the Arsenal icon.

And they took inspiration for their routine from the cheeky dance in the movie.

Tony, who pointed out he's only been dancing for 22 days, boldly stripped off at the end of the dance - wowing the fans.

He revealed his sparkly red boxer shorts and a very smooth, ripped chest! 

And the fans loved it!

Head judge Shirley Ballas said it wasn't exactly a samba but she admitted she was entertained!

Anton Du Beke said Tony was "a genius"!

He said that he had a feeling that if he was still one of the professional dancers, then he'd be dancing with Tony! And he added that he felt Katya's pain! Ouch.

All Craig Revel Horwood could manage was: "OMG!"

Tony and Katya's dance may have only earned them 18 points - with a rather mean 2 points coming from Craig - but the viewers definitely enjoyed it!

Some fans even thought Tony and Katya could win the whole competition and lift the glitter ball trophy!

Will Tony's 'football strip' win him enough votes to keep him in the competition? Fortunately we only have to wait for the results show to find out.
