Anthony Ogogo rips trousers in first Strictly Come Dancing live show

By Shaun Kitchener

While The X Factor continues its decline, the ratings for Strictly Come Dancing are still rising, with 1 million more viewers catching the traditional Friday kick-off this year than in 2014.

If Anthony Ogogo’s going to keep ripping up his costume, we suspect those numbers will only continue to rocket.

The boxer, dancing with newcomer Oti Mabuse as his pro partner, finished near the bottom of the leaderboard last night with his 21-point-scoring Jive, but giving us the first big wardrobe malfunction of the year definitely ensured he stuck out – in more ways than one.

Tearing the trousers down the middle of his bum, he was only too happy to bend right over and show the damage to blushing host Tess Daly, leaving the audience laughing.

With six celebrity couples dancing last night (including the not-exactly-ugly Gleb Savchenko), the remaining nine will take to the floor this evening – although nobody will be eliminated until next weekend.

Until then, Anthony – keeeeeeeep ripping.
