Is there a need for the men to constantly take their shirt off after been voted off?

Is there a need for it? I wonder if a female did similar, what the reaction would be?

I thought this was a dancing competition not a stripping one?

Austin's body looks a bit weird and out of proportion to me - not very nice at all. He's short and squat but with muscles, which isn't a very good look IMO. He flaunted his man boobs whenever he could to get the female/gay vote, but clearly that wasn't enough to save him.

Oh come off it. I don't fancy him, but I'm sure he has a better body then some of the people that are throwing words like manboobs around.

Erin and Austin went graciously, they were both lovely and now we are still getting some negative comments on here.

I really don't care if they take their shirt off! The last few minutes belong to the couple that goes, if they want to do handstands, cartwheels or take their shirts off, let them.

No. Speaking as a red blooded female - I don't want to see Austin take his shirt off. Subtlety is far more attractive.

Tess, stop trying to talk for a whole gender. You just sound sleazy!

I quite appreciate it, both Mark's and Austin's little strip tease at the end were a very nice little treat. Nothing wrong with it
On a more serious note, it's not nudity, don't know what the big deal is, men go round shirtless in the summer, so what's the problem? The girls have hardly any fabric on them when they dance the latin, and sometimes wear very low cut dresses (front and/or back) in the ballroom; they look good, and rightly nobody complains about it.

No need but why not. Its their moment. They can do what they like, within reason of course.

She's northern, so it's unavoidable

I just think it isn't necessary. I wonder if girls did the same, what would happen...

I wonder if Brucie would get away with asking Lisa and Rachel to whip their knickers off

They would catch a cold.

Apparently not, when you read some of the threads around here.

The vast majority of couples leave in a gracious way, as few want to appear bitter. His body isn't that great, and he most certainly does have enough flesh there to warrant wearing a bra. He and Mark must be very vain to display their wares like that.

Well Len got away with suggesting that Christine did.

He did, but not in a cheap northern way like Tess did.
I can just imagine Tess at a hen night do with all the male strippers

Hmmm... and if a male had been making similar comments about one of the female contestants on a weekly basis like Tess has about Austin's chest, I wonder whether he'd still be in a job.

As for Austin's semi-strip, it's a dance competition and a light entertainment show, which a lot of people seem to forget, and it was just a bit of cheeky fun fgs

Actually I think that Len can come across as quite pervy and probably needs to tone it down a bit... but yes, so does Tess.

They're called pectorals. If a bloke actually works out, they define themselves properly.

His body is very impressive and he's obviously worked hard to get it. I wasn't exactly licking my TV screen but if he's got it, flaunt it. No different to the female dancers going round in tiny scraps of material and calling them dresses

I'm sure that the only reason Austin took his shirt off was because of Toss-pot's 'get them guns out one more time'. And if you noticed he soon put it back on again.
Tosspot's words and actions are at times enough to make the suffragettes turn in their graves. And the rest of us want to give her a good slap.

Bit of a silly comparison don't you think? A bit of fun and light relief never goes a miss. Let's face it, there haven't been many laughs since John went out.

I don't mind it at all, in fact I rather liked it when Mark took his shirt off

Anyways it could be worse John Sergeant could've taken his off!

*Apologies to those who tasted a little bit of sick there*

Can the next person please make sure the bonds are too tight for her to escape?
