Boxing champion Joe Calzaghe has admitted that he has told the Strictly Come Dancing costume department that he won’t be wearing any pink lycra outifts on the show.

Joe told The Sun:

“I told Kristina to tell them: ‘I don’t want to wear no pink, no lycra, nothing too tight’. I’ve been pretty happy so far. Tonight I’m wearing a red satin shirt. Not just a red satin shirt, I’ll be in black trousers too.”

Joe also revealed that whilst he hasn’t yet waxed, he was ordered to shave his armpit hair for his recent routine.

He added:

“I haven’t been through waxing but I was given orders to trim under my arms for a paso doble. I wouldn’t go completely bald.”

How very manly!
