Patsy Palmer showed off her leg style at Sunday’s Dancing On Ice by donning the iconic Union Jack dress from Ginger Spice.
The actress, 50, dressed as former pop star Geri Horner for the judges’ icon challenge as she performed to the group’s hit song Spice Up Your Life.
Patsy looked sensational in the skimpy mini dress, which she paired and topped off with a wig.
Geri wore the dress during the girl group’s performance at the 1997 BRIT Awards.
Opting for a strapless version, the dress hugged Patsy’s stunning figure as she showed off her impressive moves on the ice.
Girl power: Patsy Palmer, 50, showed off her toned legs at Dancing On Ice on Sunday as she donned the iconic Union Jack dress of Ginger Spice (left, Geri, pictured in 1997).
The routine saw her as a cleaning lady before she “spiced up her life” and stripped off a tattered jacket to reveal the glittering dress underneath.
Former EastEnders star Pasty and his partner Matt Evers have been trying to recover after finding themselves at last week’s dreaded skate-off.
Oti Mabuse scored a decent 26.5 out of 40 and said: “Really love watching you skate, you’re getting better every week.
Ashley Banjo agreed: “You give yourself challenges every week and I thought you cracked it.”
Ekin-Su Culculoglu broke down in tears last week after becoming the third star to be eliminated from the competition.
The Love Island star, 28, couldn’t hold back tears after coming up against Patsy in the skate-off – which host Phillip Schofield described as “the most emotional atmosphere we’ve ever had”.
Her departure comes despite the fact that Ekin-Su wanted to wow the crowd when she invited boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti for a cameo during her disco routine.
The beauty also received a passionate kiss from her handsome topless beau at the end of her routine, with viewers appreciating Davide’s cameo and commenting: “He gets my vote!”

After I finished her save-me skate, Ekin-Su was clearly emotional, and presenter Holly Willoughby told her: “Don’t get upset, you’ve done yourself proud.”
Patsy and her partner Matt then performed, with the former EastEnders star also breaking down in tears, leading Phil to hail it as one of the “most emotional” skate-offs in the show’s history.
When it came to the voting, it was a clean slate as all four judges voted to save Patsy, noting that she was the strongest performer of all.
With a distraught Ekin-Su crying during the vote, Phil quickly rushed over to give her a comforting hug, followed by Holly.

After being kicked out of the competition, the reality star said: “We put so much time into it and all the other work I had at the time, it was my priority and I gave it my all.
“And I love it, I fell in love with the ice cream.”
Phillip then told her: “We love you too and please if you leave her tonight please be very proud of what you have done.”

Ekin-Su was determined to avoid the same fate that she drove to Rose Royce’s car wash earlier in the show, after getting kicked out in her first week.
The actress wore a pink top and matching shorts, and her curly brunette locks were pinned back.
And while Ekin-Su did her best to perfect her moves on the ice, it was the end of her routine that really got fans at home excited.
When the dance was over, Ekin walked up to a handsome Davide – who some people didn’t notice at first – and planted a passionate kiss on him, with the businessman even lifting her leg as they embraced.
Fans who took to Twitter were quick to react to the surprise twist at the end, commenting: “Davide gets my vote.”
A second delighted fan said: “Davide is a sexy snack of a man.”
“Ekin-Su in particular was nonsense. No solo dance but 10 for topless Davide,” wrote a third.
Adding another: “David, performing in Ekin-Su’s routine, almost thought we were seeing #loveisland there and not #dancingonice.”
After her performance – which was the night’s lowest score at 23 points – Ekin-Su revealed she had an injury that forced a change in routine.
