Craig Kelly 'to wear a kilt on Strictly'

Craig Kelly has announced that he may wear a kilt in a future episode of Strictly Come Dancing.

The Coronation Street actor told the Daily Record that donning the traditional Scottish garment would be embracing his roots as his mum comes from Glasgow.

Kelly explained: "I'm trying to work out what dance I could wear a kilt on. Hopefully, if I stay in, I can wear one. But would I wear underpants?"

On the struggles he has faced in the competition, the soap star continued: "I'm the underdog of the show. Some people think I'm being undermarked.

"I don't think I'm a bad dancer. I might not be a natural dancer, but I work incredibly hard. Now it's up to me to show how good I can be on the show. You can change people's opinion in one dance."

Tomorrow's live instalment of the contest will see Kelly dancing on his 39th birthday. He recently joked that the judges should bake him a cake to celebrate the occasion.
