Going, going......Pamela Anderson clings on tight to Dancing With The Stars partner Damian Whitewood as she starts the splits
She's tried to tango, waltz and cha cha cha her way into the judges hearts in an attempt to increase her score.
But it was Pamela Anderson's impressive splits that impressed the Dancing With The Stars panel.
The actress received her highest mark of the reality TV show so far last night, not just for her routine but by performing the splits so perfectly to finish it off.
Scroll down to watch the video...
Gone! She flawlessly splits to the ground to a huge round of applause
The model, 42, showed off her flexibility at the end of an impressive rumba that earned her and professional dance partner Damian Whitewood a total score of 47, her best of the series so far.
Judge Len Goodman told the couple their routine was 'understated and sophisticated' and her spiral was the best of all the female celebrities performing.
Bruno Tonioli said Pamela had proved that she could do 'refinement and sophistication' and still be 'drop dead sexy', rounding up his comments by telling her He thinks it was the best routine she has ever danced.
Gissa kiss: Pamela pulls dance partner Damian close after high praise from the judges for their routine
And Carrie Ann Inaba wrapped up the judges' comments but telling Pamela that she had really 'elevated her game' and it was the best technical routine she had performed
And it's not just Pamela's dancing that is making the headlines - her relationship with Whitewood has also been causing a stir.
The chemistry between them obvious as they snuggled up and pressed their foreheads together at the end of their routine last night.
Raunchy rumba: Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and dance partner Derek Hough earned high marks - but failed to impress the judges
Pamela then hot-footed it over to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel's programme after Dancing With The Stars ended and he asked her about her relationship with Whitewood.
He said: You guys seem to be very affectionate towards each other – am I reading too much into this?'
Anderson replied, 'No!' and then Kimmel asked if he could become her lover.
She said: 'I kind of like the tension. There’s a lot of tension, which is really good. I like that. I’m sure he likes the tension. I think it’s good, it’s nice.
'I’m not with anybody right now, it’s nice to have that romance. It’s a real lesson in a healthy relationship, dancing with somebody then… you go home.'
Teary Tango: Kate Gosselin and parner perform the dance that reduced her to tears during rehearsals
Also performing on last night's Dancing with the Stars was Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and partner Derek Hough who performed the tango.
But they raised eyebrows after landing a score of 50 even though the judge comments were less then complimentary with Carrie Ann telling Nicole she was 'out of the game tonight' and Bruno was surprised that she wasn't spot on.
Kate Gosselin and partner Tony Dovolani also performed the tango and Gosselin managed to keep her tears in check after breaking down during rehearsals
