'It was all bounce, bum and bongos!' Susanna Reid stuns judge Len Goodman with her saucy Strictly Come Dancing Samba
|
BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid was simply unrecognisable when she shook her stuff to a Shakira track on Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing.
The 42-year-old presenter's Samba performance to Whenever, Wherever stunned the judges, particularly head judge Len Goodman, who joked: 'You should be ashamed of yourself, a nice girl like you off breakfast TV.
'It was all bounce, bum and bongos - you can't come out flaunting yourself like that.' 
Shake it! Susanna Reid was shaking her hips from side to side as the last performance of the evening on Strictly Come Dancing
But fellow judge Bruno Tonioli did not mind about seeing Susanna's raunchy side and said: 'If you got it flaunt it darling, don't worry.
'You were going for it like fury anytime, anywhere, anyplace.'
Overall the mum-of-three received mixed comments from the judges, who told her that she did need to work on controlling her energy on stage.
Carnival! Kevin Clifton and Susanna Reid certainly made a lasting impression - and the pair were even dressed in jungle-inspired outfits
Letting go! Susanna was worried about what her three young boys would think of her performance but they said she should go for it as you're only on Strictly once
Wild thing! Susanna had her brunette locks styled in wild curls to compliment her jungle-inspired ensemble
Craig Revel Horwood did not hesitate to offer his thoughts on her Samba and added: 'I thought it was a bit muddy actually and at times your were fighting one another and going against one another.'
Retired English ballerina, Darcey Bussell told Susanna: 'I feel you can go further, you could do a much much broader hip movement - I want to see you go a lot further in the competition.'
In all the star scored an average 29 out of 40, much lower than her impressive 34 out of 40 last week for her stunning Viennese Waltz which earned her first place from the judges.
Full of enthusiasm! Susanna puts her hands in the air as she gyrates to the classic Shakira song Whenever, Wherever

Nevertheless the Croydon-born journalist looked stunning in her jungle-Pocahontas style outfit which was complete with a green silk halter neck bust, which a plunging neckline, and tasseled blue and brown mini skirt.
The outfit was finished off with her colourful wrist bands and a pair of gold stiletto dance heels for her Latin number.
Susanna was bronzed from head to toe as well as sporting a wild mane of brunette curls to fit in with the jungle theme.
High energy: Both Kevin and Susanna gave the performance everything they had
