TRY THIS FOR THIGHS!

Alexandra’s giant step towards Strictly glory

- By Mark Wood

TOWERING over her dance partner, Alexandra Burke pulled off a risque rumba last night which could see her climb to the top of the Strictly Come Dancing leader board.

The 29-year-old singer is flying high and becoming one of the new favourites to take the crown. She put on an eye-catching display whirling round the dance floor to Beyoncé’s Halo. And thanks to a sequinned dress which plunged dangerousl­y low at the front and was cut outrageous­ly high on her thighs, Alexandra looked heavenly.

Her partner Gorka Marquez made sure he had plenty of flesh on show by performing with his shirt completely unbuttoned.

In contrast, EastEnders star Davood Ghadami was a picture of buttoned-up elegance as he waltzed with Nadiya Bychkova to duet With You I’m Born Again.
