Dancing on Ice trio get jewelled thongs for final

The finalists for this weekend's Dancing On Ice showdown have been given tailor-made bejewelled thongs - and may give the audience a flash.

Two of the final trio - Kieron Richardson and Gary Lucy - are being given bling jock straps by the show's costume gurus to mark the finale on Sunday.

Fellow finalist Hayley Tamaddon is also expecting to be given shiny scanties.

Kieron pledged to strip to his smalls - if he skates off with the ice crown. The Hollyoaks actor, 24, said: "If I win, I'll whip me pants off and you can see."

However, former Hollyoaks actor Gary, 28, was less sure about wearing his his skimpies, let alone baring them.

"I'll have some fun burning that - you won't catch me in that thong again anytime soon," he insisted. "A beaded thong? I'm not being funny, but what is that all about? You'll see on our faces. We'll be doing the spiral leg up with a big wince on our faces. There's something very wrong about a jewelled hong, I tell ya."

Hayley, who is favourite to win the ITV1 show, said she too would show off her jewelled undergarment.

"If I win, I'll whip my top off so you can all see," she said.
