He promised fire and drama and Chris Ramsey delivered on Strictly Come Dancing's live show on Saturday when he set the floor alight - quite literally.
Flames and projections added colour to the comedian's dreaded tango which saw him and dance partner Karen Hauer wearing black - and serious expressions - for the latest heat in the, er, hot competition.
Earlier, Chris , from South Shields, had told how he was preparing for a return to a serious performance after last week's fun show which scored the pair their highest points to date - and he revealed he would not be allowed to smile in the dance which was proving an added pressure.
But, despite a few harsh words from judge Craig Revel-Horwood afterwards - who told him to "up your game" - the pair bagged 26 and a standing ovation from the audience.
Later, Chris, still dressed in his tango outfit, made his first Twitter live appearance to thank fans for their unfailing support - and hopefully their votes.
He also tweeted followers to say: "So many lush comments from you lot on here. Means the world! That dance was bloody terrifying! Vote if you can!"
One comment on Twitter said: " Chris Ramsey always makes me smile. Nice guy," while another wrote: "Who knew Chris Ramsey could do sexy!!!" and fan Zoe Busby tweeted to urge people to vote for the pair and said: " Chris Ramsey and Karen Hauer are on the perfect dance adventure. You couldn't ask any more from a non dancer".
The Strictly results will be aired on BBC1 this Sunday night at 7.20pm.
