"10 Things You Didn't Know About Harry Judd...
McFly drummer Harry Judd has always been tremendously sexy and handsome. McFly fans will have always been aware of this fact but, for lots of us, The Judd has only really made his scorching hot imprint into our brains over the past few weeks as he's shimmied his taut body around the Strictly Come Dancing floor. In honour of Harry's (very well-deserved, we think you'll agree) 10 score on Saturday night's show, we've decided to share with you 10 facts that you may or may not know about the delectable Mr Judd. There's pictures, too, because he's nice to look at as well as read about.
1) He plays the trumpet and piano as well as the drums
So, in addition to being good with his arms (the drumming) and his feet (the dancing), we can assume that Harry is also talented with his mouth and his fingers. Of course we're referring to his musical abilities here, nothing else. *fans self with copy of heat*
2) He's already won Strictly Come Dancing
OK, so it was only a special one-off episode for Children In Need last November, but he was still brilliant. According to his fellow McFly bandmates, Harry used to be the worst dancer, with Danny Jones telling The Sun, "He's never danced in his life, so it's really funny to see him doing Strictly Come Dancing. He's totally out of his comfort zone." Harry himself once admitted to The Independent that, "I dance like my dad. Actually probably worse than my dad". How times have changed...
3) He loves cricket
So much so, in fact, that he almost went on to play for England. Happily for us, however, he decided to focus all his energies on drumming instead. Harry still likes to knock a ball around, though, and travelled all the way to India to take part in a charity cricket match for Sport Relief. This also brings us on to fact number 4...
4) He does loads for charity
McFly have always been heavily involved with helping charities, from Children In Need to Sport Relief and more, but in April 2008 Harry left his bandmates on the sidelines when he ran the London Marathon in under four hours, raising money for both the Teenage Cancer Trust and The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust. Most recently, Harry and McFly's Tom Fletcher climbed Ben Nevis to raise money for underprivileged kids. They ate peanut-butter Oreos when they got to the top – fact!
5) He's got some random tattoos
And by random, we mean the word "bare" tattooed onto his foot (geddit? We do. LOL) and the words "a tattoo" on his wrist. We'd like to kiss them both. Yep, even the one on his foot.
6) He's had it off with Lindsay Lohan
The unofficial story is that Li-Lo summoned Harry to a party with her after spotting him on the set of their 2006 movie Just My Luck. After ignoring him for most of the night, she finally approached him and invited him back to her hotel room (well, you would, wouldn't you?) where the dirty deed took place. While Harry has always maintained that it was just a little "fling", the actress prefers not to acknowledge that anything happened. Er, is she mad? Better not answer that...
7) He's the best-looking member of McFly
Well, he is according to the audience of Celebrity Juice, who ranked Hazza as the fittest McFlyer when the band appeared on the show last year. Danny came second, Dougie was third and beautiful Tom was voted in fourth place. We think it's the eyes that swung it for Harry. They're lovely and blue, you know? It was definitely the eyes (and the arms and the arse).
8) He can move his ears
We assume this means he can move them without using his hands, because that would just be silly. Harry also claims to have "skinny calves" but admits that his biceps are "massive". Yes, they are, Harry. Yes. They. Are.
9) He's got an "obsessive nature"
He admits it himself! But we imagine it's this trait that makes Harry so determined to succeed at what he does, ie the dancing. And the muscle-building. We wish he was obsessed with us. Just a little bit. Please.
10) He's been molested by a married woman
When we interviewed McFly back in 2008, Harry admitted that he'd been targeted by a very keen woman, saying, "I've had a married woman try to drag me into the toilet. I was like, 'But you're married!' and she was like, 'So what?'. Despite this rather scary encounter, Harry went on to say that he would be happy to date an older woman *punches air*. Well, he would if he wasn't blissfully happy with his long-term girlfriend Izzy (from Escala). For now we'll all just have to dream.
If you enjoyed this, then you'll really enjoy the new issue of heat (out Tuesday). Let's just say there's plenty of Harry on show…"

"Look out Robert Pattinson: Strictly’s Harry Judd sinks teeth into vampire role
Fresh from getting the first ten of the series on Saturday night’s Strictly, Harry and Aliona have had a terrifying experience…
There’s a frighteningly good weekend of TV ahead with Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor embracing the Halloween theme.
In honour of all things spooky, Strictly star Harry Judd and stunning partner Aliona Vilani headed along to the London Dungeon to get some inspiration for the show.
Harry channelled Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson and pretended to get his teeth sunk into a terrified looking Aliona’s neck.
The flame haired dancer got her own back by posing with an axe in her hands, ready to chop Harry’s head off! Not really of course, but beware Mr Judd: now you know what Aliona is capable of if you don’t perform well on Saturday night - not that there’s much chance of that.
The McFly star and his partner gained the first ten of the series at the weekend, after dancing the waltz.
Head judge Len Goodman felt the drummer looked ‘distraught’ and that he messed up the second half of the routine, but Alesha Dixon disagreed, dubbing the performance ‘exquisite’ and awarding the couple ten points.
If it is terrifying performances the judges are looking for, perhaps this will be Nancy Dell'Olio’s week to shine… mwahahahaha!"

"If Harry Judd's still hungry after this bird, we've got a half decent jugular he can have a go on...
We've not been watching a whole lot of Strictly, if we're honest, but it looks like Harry Judd off McFly is getting quite close to this dance partner of his. Harry and Aliona went along to London Dungeons (in London, if the geography fans are wondering) yesterday to have a bit of Halloween fun and we found ourselves getting quite jealous of Aliona. It doesn't seem fair that she gets to touch and play with Harry, while ours is to stare at the pictures and write about it.
What we're forgetting in all this, mind, is Harry's girlfriend Izzy Johnston. Sucks for her."

"Strictly Come Dancing 2011: Harry Judd joins Jason Donovan as favourite to win!
Ahead of tomorrow night’s show, long time Strictly Come Dancing 2011 favourite Jason Donovan has a new rival for the trophy in the form of McFly drummer Harry Judd, who joins the stage star at the top of the betting.
So far this series, Australian actor and singer Jason Donovan has consistently topped the bookmakers’ leader board, and has also topped the judges scoreboard three out of the four weeks .
However, following Judd’s waltz routine with professional dance partner Aliona Vilani, last weekend, which earned him rave reviews and the first ‘Perfect 10’ of the series to date from judge Alesha Dixon, bookmakers can’t divide the two contestants, offering a best price 9/4 on both Donovan and Judd to win the competition.
Amongst the other contenders for the crown is Waterloo Road actress Chelsee Healey. Healey, who together with dance partner Pasha Kovalev, scored an impressive 36 out of 40 last week, was 20/1* to win before the competition started and is now a best priced 7/1 with Stan James.
Bookmakers can’t seem to make up their mind on the man everyone loves to hate, former Premier League footballer Robbie Savage. Odds for the longhaired Welshman to become the third sportsman to win the competition have varied from 9/1 to 20/1. He is currently a best priced 10/1 with Blue Square, Bodog and 888Sport.
At the other end of the scale, Nancy Dell’Olio, ex-girlfriend to former England football manager Sven Goran Eriksson, remains the favourite to leave the show this weekend at 11/8. However, despite finishing bottom of the leader board every week, the Italian siren has survived eviction so far."

"McFly's Harry Judd on wanting a family and dating Lindsay Lohan
McFly heartthrob Harry Judd has opened up about his love life and revealed to Fabulous magazine that although he's very settled now he definitely had a wild side when he was younger.
The multi-talented drummer, who is currently starring on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing, explained that having a family is important to him and he hopes it's something that his future with girlfriend Izzy Johnston includes:
"She is the only girl in the world for me," he gushed. "I want marriage kids, the whole deal.”
Despite revealing his domestic aspirations, he also spoke about his past "fling" with troubled actress Lindsay Lohan and said it was nothing short of "surreal":
“I had a fling with Lindsey...it was surreal, she introduced me as her boyfriend, then told me to kiss her.”
Judd's full interview will be published in the new issue of Fabulous magazine."

"Harry Hotter
He’s spent seven years playing second fiddle to his more extrovert band mates. But drummer Harry Judd is ready to quickstep out of the shadows, and boy was it worth the wait...
With his brooding good looks, sexy dance-floor skills and, blimey, that six-pack, Harry Judd should be the most eligible man in Britain.
But - sorry girls - there's just one teeny tiny problem. The hottest thing to hit Strictly Come Dancing this series happens to be madly in love with his (stunningly beautiful, super-intelligent, multi-talented) girlfriend.
In fact, he admits that he wants nothing more in life than to marry Escala violinist and former Britain's Got Talent hopeful Izzy Johnston, 27. Apologising for a streaming cold - a result of his gruelling dance training - he says: "She's the only girl in the world for me, I absolutely know 100 per cent that in her I have found The One, and yes I do want marriage, kids, the whole deal with Izzy. I think I'm lucky to have her."
While his phwoar factor is pretty obvious - no wonder Lindsay Lohan jumped on the gorgeous drummer when McFly appeared in her movie, Just My Luck in 2006 - there's a lot about former public schoolboy Harry, 25, that has the "aww" factor, too.
He's chuffed to bits that he's finally made his gran proud by being on Strictly: "She did once come to a McFly gig but I think she was confused because she thought we made a right racket." He's 100 per cent loyal to his band mates: "It's always the best when they come down to the studio, they are the best guys in the world." He can even admit to having a soft spot for Strictly diva Nancy Dell'Olio: "Nancy is just hilarious because she sits and demands champagne, but it's the most natural thing in the world to her."
But it's when Harry talks about his romance with Izzy that he turns into the biggest softie. The two of them began dating three years ago, but split after 18 months when work pressures drove them apart. A year ago, they got back together and have been inseparable ever since.
Harry says: "We met when we were doing a gig in a church in Bristol. I'd just come out of quite a rough time in my life and I looked at this girl, and she noticed me and it was like the cliché of love at first sight.
"I thought she was the most perfect girl I'd ever seen and we just started seeing each other straight away. She moved in and it was all great, but then things changed for me."
Settling down
Harry explains: "Izzy is two years older than me. I joined McFly when I was 17, and by 21 I'd fast-tracked into this life of contracts, mortgages, and working non-stop. I felt I'd missed out on a lot of life, like going to uni and sharing flats. I worked all the way through most of my mates' 18th and 21st birthdays and even though I loved Izzy, loved being in McFly, I also really enjoyed the company of loads of guys I was at boarding school with.
"I was living out of town with Izzy just around the corner from where the rest of the band had bought houses, and I told her I wanted to move to London and just have time living on my own with my friends. She wasn't happy, but she understood she had to let me go.
"And then it all got really complicated. I was working, she was working, we hardly saw each other and decided to have a break."
He pauses: "I did really worry about what would happen if she met someone else. There was never anyone else for me, it was just that I needed to get things out of my system."
It was Izzy who, after six months apart, turned up on his doorstep one day. Presumably manicured chic and dolled up to within an inch of her life to show him exactly what he was missing?
He laughs: "Totally the opposite. She was standing there in tears with make-up running down her face. The moment I saw her I knew I couldn't ever be without her.
"I asked her if she'd move back in with me, then I said I actually wanted us to buy a place together, not a house but a home. We've decorated it how we both want, and just a few weeks ago I was saying how amazing it actually worked out and we are where we should be. I definitely want to marry her. I'm pretty old-fashioned, I want to do things the right way. But I know she's the only girl for me."
Wow. It sounds like a scene from a Richard Curtis movie.
Harry looks momentarily embarrassed. "Sorry, I don't usually talk about my private life. I normally say nothing...
"I asked her recently whether she ever doubted we'd get back together after we split or whether she ever worried someone else would come along, and she told me that she always believed that however far apart we were, we were tied to each other by a cord."
You have to wonder how Izzy feels about him spending so much time with beautiful redhead (and single) dancer Aliona Vilani, 27, Harry's professional partner on Strictly.
Harry laughs: "She doesn't care. It's true there are loads of romances on Strictly, but nothing is going to happen. Izzy is the least jealous girlfriend in the world."
Overcoming anxiety
Quite. In fact, the push to encourage him to take part in the BBC1 dance contest in the first place came from Izzy. Harry had never danced until a year ago, when he performed in a one-off Strictly challenge against Rochelle Wiseman from The Saturdays.
He won, and was asked back for the next series.
"Obviously I said no," he laughs. "I knew I'd get really nervous and anxious. But then Izzy kept telling me not to be so neurotic and that I couldn't turn down the opportunity to train with a total professional and learn a new skill. I decided she was right and that I should go for it. So I did."
He now trains for a gruelling eight hours a day, up to seven days a week with Aliona.
"Doing Strictly has been a massive life change for me, but it was Izzy who pushed me to do it and I'm absolutely loving it. I even quite like the sparkly outfits - despite the fact I felt a real idiot in them at first.
"I don't consider myself sexy or remotely hot in any way. I'm the drummer, the guy who sits at the back behind the band and tries not to get noticed. "
He says his McFly mates, who have enjoyed 17 Top-10 singles and sold an estimated 8 million records worldwide, have gone from laughing about his outfits to being genuinely impressed by his ballroom prowess.
"I'm really working, because part of me is doing this for myself but I also feel like I'm representing McFly. So I have to do the absolute best I can because this is also for the band."
Strictly has given him a new raft of mates including Jason Donovan. Harry insists he's not bothered by the "scandal" of the Aussie having had what he calls dance "tips" before the show.
"I don't care. He's so focused and driven it doesn't surprise me, and he's also one of the best dancers," he says.
Robbie Savage has also become a close pal along with Chelsee Healey from Waterloo Road. "You get to spend time together, so there is a lot of bonding. Everyone is struggling and knackered and lots of us are coping with injuries, so it breaks down a lot of barriers. There is a real team spirit backstage," says Harry.
He might be starring in a reality show, but Harry (and band mates Danny Jones, 25, Tom Fletcher, 26, and Dougie Poynter, 23) have never been interested in cashing in on their fame.
"We've never done the party or club circuit. Some people love it, but it's never been 'us'. If we do end up at a party, we all stand together, drinks in hand, wondering how long we have to wait till we can get out of there. I know a lot of bands keep their name in the media by turning up to loads of things, but that lifestyle has never really done it for us."
Given the kiss-off
The group's trip to America to appear in a Lindsay Lohan movie burned Harry, he admits.
"I had a fling with Lindsay when we were doing the film," he says (although her publicist denied it at the time). "She completely instigated it. It was surreal. We went to a club in her limo. She introduced me as her boyfriend, then told me to kiss her. Then she invited me back to her hotel and I left at eight o'clock the next morning.
"A couple of nights later I saw her again at another party and she blanked me. At the end of the night, she asked me back to her place and I turned her down. It was all a bit insane."
Acting, sequins and dancing aside, Harry's first love will always be music. And he's looking forward, post-Strictly, to getting back to the day job of being a drummer.
"McFly will always come first. I love the band and I love being in the band, and we want to be around for as long as is possible."
As to who he thinks may win the show, he admits he hasn't a clue. "But I wouldn't rule out Russell Grant," he says.
"He is actually pretty good - he's got rhythm and he's getting better and better each week."
He doesn't quite rock the slashed tops like you do though, Harry...
So Harry, when was the last time you...
CRIED "Yesterday, I was rehearsing with Aliona and I got so hysterical with laughter I ended up crying."
LIED "I can't think of when I last lied. I'm not lying when I say this either!"
BROKE THE LAW "I think there has possibly been a bit of speeding sometime over the past few weeks."
GOT DRUNK "In February. I've pretty much stopped drinking. You certainly can't dance with a hangover."
HAD AN ARGUMENT "Yesterday. Izzy made roast chicken, but I wanted pasta. It was a bicker, not a row."
SAID "I LOVE YOU" "This morning. To Izzy, of course."
