Abbey Clancy, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Rachel Riley ramp up the Strictly sex factor in skimpy minidresses

Sending pulses (and hemlines) soaring! Abbey Clancy, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Rachel Riley ramp up the Strictly sex factor in skimpy minidresses

But on Saturday night Abbey Clancy, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Rachel Riley well and truly sent pulses racing as they ramped up the sex factor on the BBC One show. 
Casting aside the ladylike ensembles they wore for their ballroom routines, the trio strutted their stuff in eye wateringly skimpy minidresses as they tried their hand at Latin. 
The thigh's the limit! Abbey Clancy ditched the elegant ball dress she wore on last week's Strictly Come Dancing in favour of an eye wateringly skimpy pink minidress as she took to the stage on Saturday night's show

Making sure to show off her tiny model figure in a striking pink number, Abbey opted for the most daring outfit of the night in a thigh-skimming frock with cut-out detail as she took to the dance floor alongside partner Aljaž Skorjanec to perform a sassy cha cha.
And it would seem the Liverpudlian beauty found a particular fan in the form of judge Bruno Tonioli, who told her: 'Don't worry, there is plenty to fancy about Miss Clancy. 
'The attitude, the sex kitten, the nonchalant Brigitte Bardot. You look fab! You did a tiny little stumble at the end but I tell you, so good.' 
Golden goddess: Sophie Ellis Bextor also cast aside last week's elegant ensemble in favour of a sexy gold tassle-detail number as she performed a Charleston alongside Brendan Cole

Len Goodman added: 'I thought it was loud and proud, full of attitude and rhythm. You're a good dancer, Abbey, you are.'
Countdown presenter Rachel also made sure to showcase her impressive figure in a bright tangerine backless minidress, featuring unusual feather detailing. 
And while the maths whizz was praised for her showstopping looks, her routine with partner Pasha Kovalev didn't receive such a glowing endorsement.

Delivering their somewhat damning verdict, Darcey said: 'There is lots of sugar but not a lot of spice. I want to see you flirting with Pasha, he's easy to flirt with. There were a few messy beginnings and ends.' 
Len said: 'To be honest, I thought you were working your assets quite a bit out there, shaking your thing. You've just got to have a little more precision and attack.'
Bruno explained: 'It was like watching a gorgeous rag doll. The attitude is right but you need to work on control. You look like you're about to drop to the floor any minute. Work on your control because you've got the beauty.'

Meanwhile, Sophie looked incredible in a tassle-detail gold number as she shook her stuff to an impeccable Charleston alongside partner Brendan Cole.
Scoring an impressive 36 and 9s across the board, Darcey said: 'The Charleston is made for you, it was just perfect. The best performance tonight so far!'
Len added: 'It was a great routine and beautifully danced.'
