Healey 'wants to show off muscles'

Strictly Come Dancing star Austin Healey has reportedly asked for skimpier costumes so he can show off his muscles.

The 34-year-old rugby player is hoping that more revealing outfits will win over female fans and save him from being booted off the show, according to the Daily Star.

A source close to the programme commented that Healey is not a stereotypical tough guy and likes to sparkle in skimpy clothes.

"The wardrobe department couldn't believe it when he came down to say he wanted them to make him a special vest," said the insider.

"Out of all the guys taking part this year, he's the one who's taken the most interest in what clothes he wears. He's loving it."

Celebrity chef Gary Rhodes became the latest contestant to be voted off the BBC show last night.
