Brian Conley joked that he had bought his bald Strictly rival Simon Rimmer a hairdryer for Christmas after he beat him on the dancefloor.

The comedian was eliminated from the BBC contest on Sunday night after a dance-off against Sunday Brunch star Rimmer.

Speaking on spin-off show It Takes Two, Conley insisted he had “no animosity towards Simon”.

“I even got him a Christmas present,” he told host Zoe Ball.

“I bought him a hairdryer. I’ve kept the receipt…”

He said he would still be watching as the rest of the contestants waltz their way through the competition.

“I shall be in a yacht just off the coast of Barbados, but I’ll be keeping an eye on you!” he warned.
