Strictly Come Dancing star Bruno Tonioli, 63, poses in a pair of tighty whities with designer pal Kelly Hoppen

STRICTLY star Bruno Tonioli doesn’t give himself much ballroom in a pair of tighty whities.

The Italian judge, 63, wore budgie smugglers in a snap taken with interior designer pal Kelly Hoppen, 60, at an undisclosed location.

He shared the snap to Instagram and wrote: “Laughter is always the best medicine #fun #lifeisshort #nevertakeyourselftooseriously”.

Rehearsals are now underway for this year’s new series, starring actress Catherine Tyldesley, former England goalie David James and reality star Jamie Laing.

Let’s hope they’re not pants.
