Remember the Chippendales, the male strippers who became a global sensation before Magic Mike was even out of nappies? The washboard abs, bow ties without accompanying shirt and oh so much grinding?
Growing up in the Nineties, the troupe was already naff, a punchline. So for those, like me, unaware of the dark heart of the phenomenon’s creation story, Disney+’s new show Welcome to Chippendales came as a complete surprise.
