According to this mornings Metro, Hayley has promised a flash of a beaded thong if she makes the final two and Kieron is ready to show off his beaded Jockstrap. Gary isn't that keen apparently, but will also be wearing a beaded thong.

Does it work as bribery or is it all a little ... yuck?

This sounds hilarious. So all of them will wear a beaded thong or jockstrap if they get to skate bolero? I think we will be seeing some very weird costumes on the night.

I may be wrong but I think it's a DOI tradition

Last year Jessica got a beaded bra - have they changed it to a thong

Lol. All sounds a bit uncomfortable! I hope they let them keep them as a memento though...

The guys get a thong, the girls a beaded bra, but its a souvenir, only Donal has chosen to wear it on the night, they certainly don't have to! It is made by the costume department as a keepsake for the finalists.

Well Metro definately said Kieron was a Jockstrap not a Thong, but either would be uncomftable especially in a harness as well. But they should be used to it, a lot of professional dancers wear jockstraps so I'd be surprised if some of them hadn't all series.
