Strictly Come Dancing's Katya Jones has compared Mike Bushell to a "thirsty horse" in a bizarre update on their rehearsals.
As their next spin on the dancefloor looms, the pair have been getting into character for their American Smooth.
Dropping clues about the theme of their routine, Katya, 30, took Mike, 53, to a Western themed bar on Wednesday.
The two posed for pictures with Katya holding a pink cowboy hat on top of her head.
"Hold your horses!" she warned fans.
"We're here! Week one was great but we're not getting on the high horse just yet! It's a tough week, but luckily my horse Mike Bushell is very thirsty so i'm taking him to water and he can drink for 9h."
Katya then teased: "You watch. He might just be a dark horse! Yeeee-Haaa!|"
This the duo will be dancing to country music anthem Rhinestone Cowboy by Glen Campbell.
TV presenter Mike was full of praise for latin and ballroom star Katya after their successful jive on Saturday night
Speaking on Chris Moyles' Radio X breakfast show, Mike said: "My wife thought Katya would be the best choreographer because she takes risks."
"If you can get Ed Balls to Blackpool then we can at least get to Halloween ," the BBC Breakfast man added optimtically.
Katya had hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons last year when she was snapped snogging her partner Seann Walsh following an evening at the pub.
The pair were forced to apologise to the nation on spin off show It Takes Two and booted out of the competition weeks later.
After missing the subsequent Strictly arena tour Katya was announced back on the main show this year along with her husband Neil Jones.
However the pair split just weeks before the launch, telling fans they would continue to love each other but in a different way.
