Strictly Come Dancing star Chelsee Healey and her professional partner Pasha Kovalev have channeled Shrek for their latest performance.
The Waterloo Road star appeared as Princess Fiona, while Kovalev was made up to look like the iconic ogre as they danced the jive on last night's movie-themed show.
The pair's routine received a hefty amount of praise from the judging panel, who gave Healey her highest score yet of a near-perfect 39 points.
"You look amazing, Pasha," Alesha Dixon told the couple. "It was cute, it was fun, it was punchy, it was playful... you found your dance, this was incredible."
Bruno Tonioli added that the dance would give Healey a "fast track to the semis" and Craig Revel Horwood described their display as "incredible", despite admitting to finding Kovalev's make-up "a little disconcerting".
Len Goodman though was most confident of the actress's success, declaring: "If you're not back next week, I'll pickle my walnuts."
Healey's Strictly co-star Holly Valance also achieved a personal best tonight for her Zorro-inspired paso doble with Artem Chigvintsev, which earned them a total of 38 points.
"[I am] rooting for you the whole way," Dixon told her. "I love the routine, I love that this week that you're really fighting. You were totally in character and you stepped it up a notch."
Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight (December 4) at 7.25pm on BBC One.
