Viewers compared it to Ed Balls’s famed Gangnam Style in 2016 and voted to save Tony, 55, from the dance-off.
Tony, cruelly known in his early Arsenal and England career as “Donkey”, survived despite finishing bottom of the scoreboard.

He ripped off his clothes to reveal pink socks held up by suspenders and a pair of glittery red shorts — a homage to the club he played at for over two decades.

Judge Anton du Beke said Tony was “a genius” but Craig Revel Horwood gave him two out of ten.
