Groovy baby! Stars show off their movies
WITH his ruffled shirt, geeky glasses and velvet suit, Anton du Beke turned on the unmistakable groovy style of Austin Powers on Strictly Come Dancing’s Movie Night.
Anton danced a salsa with his celebrity partner, EastEnders actress Emma Barton, 42. She was dressed in a raunchy sequinned miniskirt and knee-high boots to transform herself into the ‘ shagadelic’ secret agent Vanessa Kensington, famously played by Liz Hurley in the 1997 comedy.
Last night the pair danced to the blockbuster movie’s upbeat theme tune, Soul Bossa Nova, by Quincy Jones. Former footballer Alex Scott, 34, swapped her sports kit to become Disney character Moana for her dance with Neil Jones, showing off her toned physique in a white sarong and cropped top.
Sadly their score didn’t quite do justice to her impressive outfit.
The couple, who were among the favourites at the start of the series to lift the coveted Glitterball Trophy, scored just 23 for their rumba to How Far I’ll Go, the hit song from the 2016 movie. Meanwhile, roles were reversed for Emma Weymouth, 32, the socialite who lives a lavish life as the wife to the heir of the Longleat estate in Wiltshire.
The Viscountess dressed in a maid’s outfit, similar to one worn by servants at her stately home, as she performed the foxtrot to the Downton Abbey theme tune with her partner, Aljaz Skorjanec.
And TV star Anneka Rice dressed as Uma Thurman’s i conic The Bride character from Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Volume 1 as she and her partner Kevin Clifton sashayed through the Charleston to Woo Hoo by The 5.6.7.8.’s.
