Kaye's Loose Women costars were impressed too. Ruth Langsford wrote: "That's not half bad! Don't forget the jazz hands," while Katie Piper commented: "Looking good."
Kaye, who turns 60 in December, said of joining the show: "I can't dance at all, I've got two left feet!"
Of her decision to take part, she explained: "I said I wanted to make the last year of my fifties memorable and I can’t think of a better way of doing it than showing the world my two left feet. Pray for me!”
