STRICTLY Come Dancing got its first naked torso of the 2016 series - and (of course) it came courtesy of Judge Rinder.

The criminal law barrister certainly showed off his exuberant personality in the bouncy Cha-cha-cha which was full of glitter, swirls and jazz hands.

At the beginning he danced with his usual robes... that is until he stripped off to reveal an open shirt and a toned torso as he spun around with partner Oksana.

The judging criticism opened with a typically cutting remark from Craig Revel-Horwood as he claimed that it looked like Judge Rinder had "excessive collagen procedures done" because of the "trout pout" he was displaying.

But Craig did grudgingly admit that he had "good rhythm".

Darcey Bussell said that her "biggest surprise" had been how much he had looked like Craig with his twirls.

Len remarked that he "put the boy in flamboyant" and that "it was a bit wild in places" but ended with a typical Len pun: "If entertainment is a crime, you're guilty!"

The criminal barrister was awarded fairly high scores for his performance

While Bruno exclaimed: "Those looks could sink a thousand ships!"

Judge Rinder received a surprisingly high mark from Craig (a six), a seven from Darcey and a six from Len and Bruno (which the audience were not happy with and booed).

Twitter, of course, went crazy about his performance.

One fan commented: "OMG judge rinder was so entertaining!! End of week 1 BPTC, great start to the weekend!"

Another commented: "judge rinder was dynamite! Or maybe firecracker in a barrel #Strictly"

A viewer tweeted: "Have always been a fan of Judge Rinder, but after seeing him dance on Strictly tonight I'm blown away."

We don't know about you, but this Strictly is already fab-u-lous, darling.
