Max George shows off dramatic Strictly makeover as he gets 'Tangoed' ahead of first competitive show

Strictly Come Dancing star Max George has undergone his first dramatic makeover ahead of the first show.

The singer, best known for being in boyband The Wanted, joked he's been "tangoed" after getting his first spray tan for the BBC One show which begins tonight.

Max, from Bolton, is one of twelves celebrities ready to take on the dancing challenge in a bid to get their hands on the Glitterball trophy.

The 32-year-old will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of his former band mate Jay McGuiness who won the 13th series of Strictly in 2015.

But first it was all about the prep and it was pretty surprsing.

Max videoed himself in the tanning booth wearing a hair net as he was sprayed all over his body.

"So I'm getting a Strictly spray tan. First time I've ever had to wear one of these. Socially distanced spray tan of course," he said.

Max then showed off the results of the spray tan and joked: "Warm in London isn't it. Look at those tan lines. Three minutes that took. Stay inside kids!"

In another video he did make a quip at his own expense.

He said this morning: "Very excited. Although I'm not sure too if I actually need to turn up as I feel like I've already been Tangoed."

Max will be performing a sexy Tango with his partner Dianne Buswell to Best Fake Smile by James Bay.

All of the celebrities will dance tonight before the results show on Sunday night.

Strictly Come Dancing airs at 7.25pm on BBC One.
