He’s up against some tough competition this weekend, so Harry Judd has bought in the big guns.
The McFly drummer has sought the support of his bandmate Dougie Poynter who dropped in on the set of Strictly Come Dancing ahead of the final.
And the bassist knows a two or thing about winning.
Best friends: I’m a Celebrity winner Dougie Poynter wore his crown to the set of Strictly Come Dancing to support his McFly bandmate Harry Judd ahead of this weekend’s final
He was crowned King of the Jungle this month on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
And he even bought along his unsightly jungle crown which didn’t quite match his black leather jacket and grey T-shirt.
Dougie, 24, no doubt shared a few tips for winning with the fellow rocker.

He also took to Twitter to garner some support for Harry, 25.
‘Harry, my bandmate is dancing on
strictly, he said.
‘Please vote for him. He is a very very nice man. I want him to
be my queen of the dance floor!’
Thanks! Harry posted this picture on Twitter of a present sent by a fan
An insider told The Sun: ‘Dougie and Harry are not only bandmates but great friends as well.
‘Dougie really wants to share his telly success with him – and went down to Strictly to surprise him.
‘He told him he just has to believe in himself and do his best – and that the McFly fans are right behind him.
‘He even wore his smelly red bandana from his time on I’m A Celebrity – as well as his jungle crown of Aussie leaves – to show his pal what he can achieve too.’
Harry is tipped to win Saturday’s final in Blackpool against Chelsee Healey and Jason Donovan.
He topped the leader board with partner Aliona Vilani on the weekend when judges gave him 39 points for each of his two dance.
But his rivals both pulled off perfect
40 scores for one dance each, impressing the notoriously hard to please
judge Craig Revel Horwood.
Harry’s odds are 1-4, according to Paddy Power.
Second is Chelsee on 5-2 and Jason is the dark horse on odds of 16-1.
Earlier
this week, Harry was named ‘sexiest man of the year’ by Attitude and
celebrated by posing in a tight pair of white pants for the magazine.
He
told the publication: ‘I didn’t think I’d go as far as wearing briefs
but before you know it I’m in front of the camera in briefs.
