Craig and Bruno are strictly off duty

The Strictly Come Dancing judges were on comic form as they attended the Royal Variety Performance.

Revelling in attention: Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli

Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli capered about outside the London Palladium after watching the show. Revel Horwood, asked to dance, instead jumped up and down while Tonioli tried on a female fan's hat and struck a pose, saying: "Do you think I look sexy? Should I go and buy one?" They seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the fans' attention as the latest series of Strictly draws towards a close.

Holby City actor Tom Chambers, model Lisa Snowdon and former S Club singer Rachel Stevens will battle it out in the semi-final tomorrow. Chambers and partner Camilla Dallerup are the favourites, with odds of 8/11 from Ladbrokes.
