'I'm like Beyonce pregnant!' Strictly's Lisa Riley jokes about her figure as she poses in saucy new photo shoot
When she signed up to Strictly Come Dancing it's fair to say many fans expected her to be the joke contestant of this year's series.
But Lisa Riley has not only stunned with her performances so far, but she's managed to drop four dress sizes in just four weeks while rehearsing and performing on the show.
And the actress is feeling so confident she has now posed in a brand new revealing photo shoot for heat magazine.
The former Emmerdale star can be seen posing for a number of images in the magazine spread in a tiny black leotard.
While she's started to become accustomed to slinkier numbers on the celebrity dance contest, it was still quite a daring ensemble for the star.
But true to her personality, Lisa used the opportunity to poke fun at herself, even joking that she looks like a 'pregnant Beyonce' in the get-up.
She told the magazine: 'Yay! I get to be Beyonce for the day... Well, Beyonce pregnant. Or Beyonce after she's eaten all the pies.'
Lisa smirks in the pictures as she shows off her figure while showing off her cheeky persona.
And she certainly wasn't shy in the shoot flexing her legs with PVC heels on her feet and a silver metal glove on one hand.
She's also wowed with her dances with partner Robin so far, in particular her cha-cha.
Not only has she managed to bag scores of fans thanks to her talent and happy demeanour, but she's also had support from one special celebrity pal.
James Corden, who starred with Riley in Fat Friends, has taken time out of his own schedule to message her words of encouragement.
She told heat: 'He's been so supportive. He sent me a text saying, 'Go girl!' and his sister Ruth messaged me. He was amazing when my mum died - he called me the very next day, and he was on Broadway in New York at the time.
'He's gorgeous. We played best friends for five years on Fat Friends when we were little tots, and we're oldies now. I'm so proud of him.'
But she doesn't think he'll come and watch her live on the show: 'I don't think so, no. Strictly is a bit too much glitter and tinsel for James!'
