Alright, time for a hypothetical. Imagine you’ve applied fake tan to yourself to the point where you resemble a rotisserie chicken. Do you:
- Live underground through the winter to avoid contact with humanity;
- Work your way from microdermabrasion to 40 grit sandpaper in an attempt to clear it off;
- Dance like nobody’s watching, apart from a panel of judges and a national television audience?
Well @NickyByrne and the lads definitely weren’t leaving @hughie_maughan off the hook with that tan tonight! #DWTSIrl pic.twitter.com/R8wpCjI8ED

The Sun (we know, we know) claims crew attempted to stop Maughan from going OTT backstage, but the man himself was pretty upbeat about the whole deal afterwards:
His partner, bless him, also backed him up for his metallic glow. Honestly, at this point, we’re all about it:
Please don’t call my lad a silly bastard, if he wants to plaster his face in fake tan he can do so, he’s not trying to impress u pal ???? https://t.co/mJ4nXQrozb

It’s the show’s first elimination round next week. We highly doubt the judges would have the gall to turf him off after such a dominant display, though.
