Appearance, recent: Raven-dyed plastic surgeon's demo model.

Appearance(s), recent: Live and Loud, Hampden Park; Destiny nightclub, Ellesmere Port; Pop Beach, C4; Summer Bay Beach Party, Kingsbury Water Park, Warwickshire.

They're a tough crowd at the Water Park. How did she do? She rescued a drowning sailor.

Really? No, not really. But while she was singing on stage she saw a boat capsize on the lake and a young man fall overboard.

So she didn't fish him out and administer the kiss of life? No, but she did try to raise the alarm.

How? By pointing frantically over the heads of the audience at the lake.

What did the crowd do? They pointed back at her.

They didn't. I'm afraid they did. "I saw her doing this strange move which was not like her normal dance routines," said representative audience member Gemma Jones, 13. "I thought it might be some new sort of dance craze and started copying."

And the boy drowned? No, he was fine. "The club are always capsizing their boats and there was no need to worry," said a spokesman for the park.

But Dannii was worried? "There was a moment in my act when, yes, I was a bit concerned," she said. "I wanted to stop singing and shout: 'He's capsized! Help him! Help him!'"

But she pointed instead. Yes, well, the show must go on.

How old was this fellow in the boat? In his 20s.

No one comes out of this looking particularly, um, intelligent, do they? So what? It's summer!

Potential new dance crazes Dannii fans might learn: The Twister, The Proscenium Plunge, The Poorly Secured Cable, The Choke, The Runaway Bus, The Severe Allergic Reaction.

Don't: Raise your hands in the air like you just don't care.
