Webbe: ‘I’ll dance shirtless on ‘Strictly’ if I get some notice’

Simon Webbe has said he will dance topless on Strictly Come Dancing if he finds time to hit the gym between training sessions.

The Blue singer, 36, admitted that he thinks he is getting too old to show off his body, but added that if he were given six weeks’ notice, he wouldn’t mind baring his chest on Saturday night primetime.

“I’m trying to avoid taking my clothes off now. I’m 36 years old,” Webbe told our friends over at Digital Spy.

“But it’s all entertainment and if that’s what is required… as long as I’ve got six weeks’ notice to rip up a bit. Right now – I would be a little bit against it.”

Webbe – who placed fifth on last week’s show – is one of the early favourites to win this year’s Strictly – see who else is tipped for success here.
