Whittle: 'I'll show my chest on Strictly'

Hollyoaks star Ricky Whittle has admitted that he is keen to show off his chest on Strictly Come Dancing.

The 27-year-old actor, who plays Calvin Valentine on the Channel 4 soap, confirmed that he wants his dance costumes to leave little to the imagination.

Speaking to the Daily Star, he explained: "I'm going to wear see-through tops like Mark Foster did last year.

"I always seem to end up in my pants on Hollyoaks, so wearing some revealing costumes on Strictly should be a doddle."

Whittle has previously vowed to impress fans by dancing in his thong on the programme.
