Strictly The Real Full Monty viewers were overcome with emotion as they watched brave celebrities bare all on stage to help save lives.
Choreographer and mentor Ashley Banjo led a new line-up of stars as they took the famous Full Monty strip this time to the Empress Balloom in Blackpool.
The nervous new recruits including Christine McGuinness, EastEnders actress Laila Morse, former Strictly dancers and husband and wife James and Ola Jordan and Blue singer Duncan James, each had stories to tell about how cancer has touched the lives of themselves or those closest to them as they raised awareness of life-saving cancer checks.
