Andy Murray finally made an appearance and even danced a bit reluctantly with mum Judy Murray on TV reality show 'Strictly Come Dancing.'

The 27-year-old tennis champ, who had earlier said that he would rather relax at home than watch his mother dance, admitted that he had been keeping a track of her progress on the BBC One show.

He said that he likes to watch her dance, but it gets hard when judges don't really have complimentary comments about her dancing, the Daily Star reported.

Murray made an appearance as Judy, 55, practiced for her paso doble with partner Anton Du Beke, and was eventually coaxed on the dance floor by his mother to attempt a few steps.

However, the former Wimbledon title holder's appearance didn't really help his mum much, as the judges weren't really impressed by her the performance.

Judy said that she had thought she would get better at dancing with time, and it had been both mentally challenging and physically challenging for her, since it was all very new to her.
