HOT, SWEATY MEN. GYRATING HIPS. HUNDREDS OF TURNED ON, SCREAMING HOUSEWIVES. And… murder? The inspiration for eventual hit film Magic Mike, the infamous Chippendales show became a household name in the 80s for being THE place for women to be entertained by male strippers. What most people don’t remember though, is the string of brutal murders linked to the Chippendales dancers and the bitter rivalry between the company’s owners, Steve Banerjee and Nick De Noia. Keep an ear out this week for a special guest appearance by Rosie’s nephew Mohammed!
