Tufnell 'refuses back, sack, crack'

BBC

Ex-cricketer Phil Tufnell has said that there is no chance of him waxing his body hair for Strictly Come Dancing.

The sports star claimed that he is happy to use moisturiser and have spray tans, but draws the line at a "back, sack and crack".

"No, no, no, who said that [I was waxing]," he told DS. "I'm not going that far! I'll have spray tans, but I'm not shaving my chest. I'm in touch with my feminine side.

"Katya [Virshilas, dance partner] got me some moisturiser. But I wouldn't go as far as a wax. I will not be having a back, sack and crack. The chest is staying on."

Tufnell, who scored 24 points for his quickstep on Saturday, also said that he was shocked by the high standard of celebrity performers this year.

"I'm amazed at how everyone is. It's brilliant," he said. "I thought Ricky [Whittle] was fantastic. He was brilliant. Wow! Not that I'm getting into this dance thing, but it was very impressive."

Virshilas added: "I said after Ricky danced, 'We should probably just pack our bags and go'."
