Fringe cringe! Jayde’s saucy show shocks her audience

SHE has just been unveiled as one of the contestants for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

And when the 20th series of the show begins next month, viewers will watch Jayde Adams show off her skills at the foxtrot and cha-cha-cha.

In the meantime, the comedian has been performing a very different dance routine as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe – and it is unlikely to feature in the familyfriendly BBC1 show.

In Men, I Can Save You, at the Pleasance Courtyard, Miss Adams gives a no-holds barred account of the lengths she has gone to in order to have sex as a single woman – including contacting male escorts.

But it is her closing ‘interpretative dance’ – lasting eight minutes and dominated by a simulated sex act – which would have the Strictly team shaking their heads in disapproval were she to attempt such a thing on television.

The Scottish Mail on Sunday went to the show last week and heard nervous laughter as Miss Adams stayed in character throughout before telling the audience: ‘I wonder if they’ll let me do that as my couple’s choice.’

Members of the audience admitted they had expected more ‘family-friendly’ fare.

Clare Thomson, 57, from Coventry, said: ‘It wasn’t what I expected. She was calling the end interpretative dance but I had another word for it.’

Anne McLean, 49, from Perthshire, said: ‘I don’t think Strictly is quite ready for that sort of thing.’

Asked about the content of her Fringe show, Miss Adams, 37, from Bristol, told The Scottish Mail on Sunday: ‘It’s all true.’
