Tony Adams' scantily clad performance during Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing show got the seal of approval from former Arsenal teammate Ray Parlour.

Adams is one of the celebrities on this year's edition of the popular BBC show, and he has certainly shown a different side to the man who captained Arsene Wenger's side to the Premier League title in 1998.

The 55-year-old toasted 'movie week' by performing to 'You Sexy Thing' from The Full Monty film.

Adams was dressed as a security guard before later stripping down to a pair of glittery shorts alongside his dance partner Katya Jones.

Jones then pulled his shirt off to reveal Adam's bare torso before the former England star finished off his routine by striking a pose.

The performance sparked a wild reaction from those in attendance as well as judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke.

Former Arsenal teammate Ray Parlour took to Twitter after watching his former skipper and ex-roommate strut his stuff.

Parlour wrote: "TA - What a performance on Strictly" , adding laughing and clapping emoji's.

Adams also received high praise from the show's judges with Motsi requesting an encore.

Meanwhile, Anton added: “I reckon if I was still a professional dancer I’d be dancing with you. It’s amazing, I loved it. It’s everything Strictly Come Dancing is and you are amazing, well done.”

Whilst a stunned Craig could only muster up: “Oh, em, gee.”

Despite the saucy performance, Adams only landed 18 points in total, putting him bottom of this week's leaderboard.

Adams and Parlour used to room together during the Arsenal team's travels away, and it seems the former skipper was never far away from hilarity.

Ray has had everyone laughing in the talkSPORT studios about the defender's hilarious attempts to learn the piano.

But it appears Adams had his fair share of laughs too - including a brilliant prank which saw Parlour left behind on a pre-season tour!
