TV STAR LETS HAIR DOWN AT AWARDS BASH:
BIG Brother's big mamma Davina McCall showed a little too much party spirit at a star-studded bash - as she indulged in an embarrassing display of dad dancing.
The 37-year-old mum-of-two's dated moves even drew bemused looks from Charlotte Church, herself a notorious party animal.
The wild-child Welsh singer resisted Davina's attempts to drag her on to the dancefloor.
Undeterred, Davina continued to gyrate like a tipsy dad at a wedding as she worked up a sweat at the GQ Men of the Year Awards after-show party on Tuesday night.
She was clearly determined to make the most of a night away from her kids.
Mercifully, daughters Holly, three, and one-year-old Tilly were spared the spectacle of their mum's barmy boogie, which included a Cha-Cha that was more ha-ha and a Funky Chicken that looked like a headless chicken.
Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles told listeners yesterday how he ignored her pleas to join her on the dancefloor.
But who could begrudge Davina a chance to let her hair down?
After all, she needed something to take her mind off her latest TV show, He's Having a Baby,which has flopped.
The prime-time Saturday night programme, following the experiences of first-time dads, has been trounced in the ratings by ITV's X Factor
