STRICTLY star Harry Judd waltzed down to Thorpe’s Lifehouse Country Spa for a well deserved rest before quickstepping off for the show’s national dance tour.
Harry, who is the drummer with boy band McFly, danced his way to the coveted Strictly Come Dancing title just before Christmas.
The Essex boy said: “It’s a lovely area and my dad used to own a beach hut along the seafront.
“I used to play with the Frinton Tennis Club in mixed doubles and actually won a tournament there when I was younger.”
Harry came to Thorpe for a chill-out break with violinist girlfriend Izzy Johnston, who recently left classical band Escala.
She has been supporting Harry every step of the way in Strictly but said she missed him during filming.
“It was lovely just to actually see Harry,” said Izzy.
“We have been in the Strictly bubble for the last couple of months and it has been lovely to finally spend Christmas with family and now totally relax.”
