Will Young gets ready for tight-fitting Strictly Come Dancing outfits in bizarre CLING-FILM get up at Manchester Pride
Pop Idol put on a brave performance in series of strange ensembles ahead of his BBC dancing debut
WILL Young put his best foot forward during Manchester Pride this weekend - even if he didn't bring his best wardrobe.
The Leave Right Now hitmaker, 37, made a rare appearance at the LGBT citywide even and took to the stage in a series of daring outfits - including a suit made of cellophane that shows off his blue-grey boxers.
Will initially took to the stage in a long white coat, and as he performed some of his hits he stripped away the layers to reveal a peach coloured t-shirt and ankle-length white skirt.
By the end of the show he had changed again into a see-through, waterproof jacket and trousers combo.
It appears that the star is getting ready for the more extreme, tighter, and glitzier costumes he will be facing after being announced as one of this year's Strictly Come Dancing contestants.

After winning two Ivor Novello's and two Brit awards across his career, Will now has his eyes set on the glitterball as he competes against a new round of contestants including Louise Redknapp, politician Ed Balls and Hollyoaks hunk Danny Mac.
The new series of the BBC hit will start this Saturday on BBC1.
He said: “As a fan of Strictly for years, I have always imagined myself on the show, but the timing has not been right… until now!
“Music is my passion and the dancing I have done has always been with a microphone in hand.
“Now there will be no microphone or band, just me, my partner and the dance floor.
“Strictly is a show with fantastic live music and has an ethos of positivity and growth. I practice these two things every day, and I will try my hardest to be the best dancer possible.”
His performance this weekend comes hot on the heels of another festival show where he appeared in judo gear at Betley Court Farm at the beginning of this month.
Manchester Pride was the gay stars first ever performance at an LGBT event, and looked more confident than ever after returning to the stage last year after going public about battling a series of mental health issues.
