Strictly judges have the tables turned as Brian May rates their performance of Queen medley... and only gives them a THREE!

By Jessica Satherley


They might be used to dishing out feedback each week, but today Strictly Come Dancing's judges will be the ones being judged.

As Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon and Craig Revel Horwood perform an opening routine to a medley of Queen’s biggest hits, Brian May will be rating them.

Not only will the judges recreate the iconic Galileo scene from Bohemian Rhapsody, but they’ll be performing their gig live from Wembley Arena.

But if their rehearsals are anything to go by, they won’t be receiving praise from Mr May, as he only scored them a three out of 10 when he watched their practice run.

And he told Craig Revel Horwood: ‘Craig, you need to work on your fandango.’

Strictly contestants will also face more pressure than ever tonight as they perform in front of the live audience of 6,500 people.

But it’s all in the name of charity – in aid of Children in Need, which raises money to go towards helping disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.

And for Wembley week Russell Grant will make the biggest entrance in Strictly history by arriving on the dancefloor after being shot from a cannon by his partner Flavia.

However rehearsals didn’t quite go to plan when Grant became stuck in the cannon, leaving show producers unsure whether the stint will pan out on the live show.

While on stage though, Russell and Flavia will be dancing a Jive to S Club 7’s Reach For The Stars.

And Alex Jones and James Jordan will be dancing a Tango to Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s classic 80’s hit Relax.

The remaining celebrity contestants and their professional dancers will also be joined by four silk aerialists and 25 cheerleaders to perform the biggest ever dance group on the show.

Meanwhile, since Nancy Dell’Olio left the show she has instead been promoting the Erotica festival.

She opened the adult festival in London on Friday, billed the ‘world’s biggest adult lifestyle show.

And she showed off the dancing skills she’d learned from Strictly as she sashayed in a PVC dress with a topless male dancer.

The Erotica exhibition originally wanted Strictly to be their theme for the event, but after the BBC sparked a legal row to prevent it, they instead opted for a simple dance theme.
