James Argent and Anthea Turner put on a very animated display as they filmed The Real Dirty Dancing by a lake in Norfolk on Sunday.

The former TOWIE star, 33, and the presenter, 61, attempted to recreate the famous lift from the film, with James seemingly struggling to hold her up as they collapsed back into the water and descended into fits of giggles.

The Real Dirty Dancing - hosted by Keith Lemon and Ashley Roberts - will see 10 celebrities put their dancing skills to the test as they take on a series of challenges and dance routines based on the film's classic scenes between Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

Elsewhere filming on the day were Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson, Blue's Lee Ryan, Hollyoaks' Chelsea Healey, Gogglebox's Tom Malone Jr and YouTuber Saffron Barker.

Both dressed like Baby and Johnny from the hit 1987 film, James - who recently lost a staggering 9.5st - and Anthea larked around in the water, with James' face coming dangerously close to her chest as he lifted her up.

Taking a break from the routine, Anthea howled with laughter as her partner stood in the water looking back at her.

Anthea showed off a hint of her ample assets in a white vest and jeans while James looked dapper and showed off his trim figure in a black T-shirt. 

Lee Ryan was also giving the moves his best shot alongside his partner as well as Saffron who was lifted into the air successfully.

On set host Ashley looked typically stylish in a pink flowery top and light blue jeans while Keith wore a blue jacket and his classic bucket hat.

She carried a watermelon in tribute to Jennifer Grey's iconic line in the 1987 movie.
