Scott Mills says he will show off his newly-acquired dance moves at Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik’s wedding.

The BBC Radio 1 DJ, who is competing in Strictly Come Dancing with partner Joanne Clifton, has been invited by the Little Mix singer and One Direction star to take to the dancefloor at their upcoming nuptials – and joked he may even wear his crab costume.

"I saw Perrie at the Radio 1 Teen Awards, and she told me I was adorable and said I should dance at her wedding," he said.

"When I interviewed One Direction this week, I asked Zayn the same question and he promised that if I get through this week, I can dance at their wedding."

Scott teased he may reprise his Samba performance, where he dressed up as the red crustacean to dance to the song, Under The Sea from Disney’s The Little Mermaid, during the BBC show’s movie week, for the couple’s big day.

"Maybe I should be the crab! If I do dance at their wedding, that’s what I’m going to have to bring out, isn’t it?" he said. "I haven’t given them any dance tips but it is official – I am allowed to dance at their wedding."

The 40-year-old producer will be undergoing a transformation into Uncle Fester for his performance of the Foxtrot to the Addams Family theme for Strictly’s Halloween special tomorrow.

"I’m looking forward to it. It should be a good line-up," he said.

"I’ve seen my outfit, which they are Strictly-fying beyond belief. It’s quite a scary jacket but they are putting hands on it and they are going to pad it out so I look like a proper hunchback, so it should be amazing. And I’m going to be bald! It’s going to be a lot of make-up and a bald cap. The costumes and make-up are my favourite bit. I love it."

"This week, I’ve dressed up as so many things. I’ve got to dress up as women, a grumpy grandpa, I’ve worn a pumpkin and now I’m going to be Uncle Fester. I’ve dressed up more this week than in my entire life."

Scott, who admitted to not being the best dancer in the competition, revealed the dance steps have gotten easier to learn.

"Even if you’re not a great dancer like myself, the steps are much easier to pick up now. You can get it in a day, whereas before when I started six weeks ago, it took me three weeks to learn the first one," he said. "That’s pleasing because you only have three days to learn and train."
