Van Outen, Vegas recreate 'Fame' dance

Rex Features

Denise Van Outen has been joined by Johnny Vegas and 1,000 backing dancers to recreate the famous dance sequence from the 1980s classic film Fame.

The TV presenter and comedian were launching the TCM (Turner Classic Movies) ‘Capture Your Classic’ campaign, where fans are encouraged to recreate scenes from their favourite films.

A street in Shoreditch was transformed into downtown Manhattan, complete with a yellow taxi.

Van Outen said of Fame: "It's one of my favourite films, it's a real classic and because the '80s are having a comeback the outfits look great.

"I'm 35 and I can get the legwarmers out - I can still do it."

Vegas joked: "I think the West End will be beating my door down after seeing this so I'm going to take some time back, consider the roles on offer and possibly do a bit of work shopping with Richard Gere."
