Thong and dance as Instagram pulls Peaty spray-tan picture with singer

-

ADAM Peaty has had a picture of himself and fellow Strictly contestant Tom Fletcher stripping off to get spray tanned ahead of their debut in the show this weekend removed from Instagram.

In the picture Adam can be seen wearing a thong ready for the spray tan, with Mcfly singer Tom standing topless and revealing his tattoos.

The stars both don hair masks as they grin for the photo.

However, the picture was removed from Instagram for “sexual activity”, according to the Olympic champion breaststro­ker.

“Great, removed for sexual activity,” the swimmer posted, followed by a laughing emoji.

Adam added: “Mad how Instagram get to decide what I upload and what I don’t. Community guidelines should be your community.”

Adam then reuploaded the picture on his Twitter page, saying: “Hope this doesn’t get removed this time” followed by a laughing emoji.

This year’s Strictly line-up also features BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker, stand-up comedian Judi Love, comedian Robert Webb and Loose Women panellist Judi Love.

Also competing will be former rugby player Ugo Monye, Eastenders actress Nina Wadia, TV presenter AJ Odudu, Dragons’ Den investor Sara Davies, Coronation Street star Katie Mcglynn, TV presenter Tilly Ramsay, CBBC host Rhys Stephenson and actor Greg Wise.

Former Bake Off winner John Whaite will be taking to the dance floor as one half of the show’s first ever all-male pairing.

The profession­als taking part include returning fan favourites such as Oti Mabuse, Giovanni Pernice, Gorka Marquez and Katya Jones, plus four new dancers joining the line-up: Kai Widdringto­n, from the Irish version of Dancing With The Stars, former Let’s Dance Germany profession­al Nikita Kuzmin, reigning South African Latin champion Cameron Lombard, and The Greatest Dancer winner Jowita Przystal.

Anton Du Beke, 55, will be swapping his dance shoes for a fulltime role on the judging panel.

He takes over from Bruno Tonioli, who remains unable to take part due to travel uncertaint­y caused by the pandemic because he lives in the US.
