THREE burly strippers are set to treat villagers to a one-off performance of their world-renowned routine to raise money for a pre-school.
The former Chippendales – now known as Here Come the Boys! – certainly had the regulars in a bit of lather as they limbered up for a UK tour by filming in Kennington launderette Rub-A-Dub-Dub.
The shop’s owner, Frances Baker, said: “It was great fun, but I did tell them to keep their underpants on, because we didn’t want to upset the ladies.
“One of my regular customers had a wonderful time with them, dancing around and folding their laundry. She really got into the spirit of it.”
HCTB are currently rehearsing in Wantage for a month to prepare for their national tour.
The 15 members of Here Come The Boys! perform sexy routines during a show featuring live music, hot dance moves and muscle, all choreographed by Cris Judd (ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez, lead dancer for Michael Jackson during his History tour and ex-Chippendales dancer).
But before being unleashed on the UK’s female population, they are treating a lucky invited audience to a one-night-only performance at Tackley Village Hall for pre-school funds.
The pre-school is currently housed in a temporary building, but has applied for new £300,000 premises in Tackley Primary School grounds.
The project has been short-listed by Oxford County Council for a £250,000 grant.
Tackley Pre-School chairman Vanessa Benson approached HCTB in bid to raise the remaining £50,000.
And to promote the exclusive teaser performance in Tackley later this month, and film a promo video, Lord Rob Walters, Kevin Casper and JJ May of Here Come The Boys! arrived at Rub-A-Dub-Dub and began stripping off.
Tor Kristiansen, one of the original stars from The Chippendales cast, said: “When they say children are our future, it really is the truth, and it is so important to provide secure and comfortable surroundings for them to learn.”
Kevin Casper, who since leaving The Chippendales has become a landscape gardener for VIP clients, including actor Johnny Depp, added: “The British heritage is very highly valued by us Americans, and if we can do something to help keep the traditions, we are honoured.”
