Strictly judge Len Goodman makes saucy comment to Anastacia after her sexy cha cha

LEN Goodman has got Strictly off to a saucy start on Saturday night by comparing Anastacia's booty to the "Rocky Mountains".

The I'm Outta Love singer took to the dancefloor to perform a super sexy cha cha with partner Brendan Cole to classic track Lady Marmalade.

And speaking after the pair had finished their sizzling routine, which included Anastacia doing the splits, Head Strictly judge Len couldn't contain his excitement.

He said: "Lady Marmalade, it was a bit like marmalade, tangy and slightly fruity, Oh yes!

"You don’t suffer from stage fright, I know you’re American and as you bent over I think I saw the Rocky Mountains!"

As the audience burst out laughing, Anastacia opened her mouth wide with surprise before burying her face into Brendan's chest.

Meanwhile fellow judges Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli covered their own faces with their hands as they laughed, while Craig Revel Horwood giggled openly.

Laughing himself, Len added: "I enjoyed it very much!"

Craig was also delighted with the routine, saying: "Absolute filth, and bordering on indecency which I LOVED so thank you darling.

"Brendan unfortunately has a habit of bringing this sort of behaviour out in his partners.

"That split in second was amazing, absolutely amazing, I loved it, mistakes and all."

Bruno was excited by the performance, adding: "You’re a hot and sexy mama.  You went for everything I like.

"It was a very good dance but you wrong quite a few times, I think it’s because of the nerves, first time out. You attacked the performance so much that you lost the choreography.

"But you’re very very talented. Based on this I’m expecting fantastic dance next week."

The couple went on to score a total of 28 points, placing them in the top half of the leaderboard.
