Take Me Out: The Gossip gets X-rated as lucky lady gets a Magic Mike-style lap dance as her date strips off in a club

TAKE Me Out spin-off show The Gossip got rather naughty tonight when one of the more beefy contestants gave his date a topless lap dance.

Welshman Luke Thomas ignored the fact all the other contestants on the Isle of Fernando's were watching as he whipped off his shirt and crawled towards his date, Em.

As Ginuwine's sexy track Pony came on in the nightclub, Swansea-based prison officer Luke treated his date to a Channing Tatum-style performance straight out of Magic Mike.

Viewers were very hot under the collar, and so was Em, who rewarded Luke with a kiss after he crawled towards her on his hands and knees.

This amorous pair were the only bona fide "love match" of this week's episode, and by the end they were even talking about Like meeting Em's dad at the airport in the UK.

But Luke's display of masculinity left the other three male contestants on the island feeling rather dejected, with one sighing: "I wish I had his muscles."

According to the show, Luke and Em didn't take it further than a snog after his lap dance, and the beefcake did have some regret about stripping off "in the flippin' middle of a club" when he woke up the next morning.

Viewers could not have been more entertained by Luke's display on the programme, though they weren't all aroused.

When the show was on tonight, Luke didn't seem all that ashamed of his performance as he was tweeting about it with pride.

Take Me Out continues next Saturday night at 6.45pm on ITV.
