Nyle DiMarco dons a loincloth for Tarzan-inspired Dancing with the Stars routine

By Will Stroude

We already knew Nyle DiMarco had the moves after his stunning Dancing with the Stars debut last month (March), but everyone’s favourite sexually-fluid male model took things up a notch this week with an eye-poppingly skin-filled routine, inspired by Disney’s Tarzan.

The 26-year-old America’s Next Top Model winner, who’s used his ever-growing platform to raise awareness of the deaf community and American Sign Language, donned nothing more than a skinmpy loincloth as he took to the stage with partner Peta Murgatroyd – and he might just give Alexander Skarsgård a run for his money when it comes to who’s the real King of the Jungle.

Nyle and Petra’s samba earned a score of 34 out of 40 from the judges, but it’s a definite 10 from us.

“The lord of the jungle is now the lord of the dance”, said judge Bruno Tonioli joked after the performance. “You are perfectly undressed for the occasion, and one thing is for sure, we won the Emmy for best supporting loin cloth.”

Bruno, we couldn’t agree more. Check out the highlights below:
