That's one way to ensure you get votes!

She only scraped through to next week's Dancing On Ice by a mere skin of her teeth after being placed joint bottom of the leaderboard on Sunday night's show.
But Samia Ghadie ensured she won't be scraping the barrel for votes in the future, particularly among the male members of the population.
Making sure all eyes were on her as she left her hotel in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, on Monday, the 30-year-old actress paraded her perfect pins in a pair of form-fitting skinny jeans.

The Coronation Street actress looked effortlessly chic as she stepped out in the winter sunshine, teaming her tight-fitting jeans with a simple striped top, aviator sunglasses and skyscraper tan heels.

And Samia could barely keep the grin off her face as she headed to her car, evidently thrilled at being able to skate for another week with her rumoured beau, Sylvain Longchambon.
It could have ended in tears for Samia on Sunday night when she was placed joint at the bottom of the leader board after failing to impress the judges with her performance.

But the soap star not only managed to stay in the competition but she didn't even have to face competing again in the weekly dance off, which eventually saw a shock departure from Shayne Ward.
And the relief was evident as Samia unwound with her co-stars following the show.
The stars all enjoyed drinks together in the hotel lobby of the Holiday Inn as the proceedings of the night settled in.

Samia certainly seemed the most ecstatic of the contestants as she was seen doing a celebratory dance in front of everyone.
Standing with a large grin on her face, she shook her booty while flinging her arms and hair around.
She had made a quick change out of her slinky skating outfit into a comfortable ensemble of skinny jeans and a loose top with brown coloured heels.
The 30-year-old still had her hair styled in big waves from the live showdown, and was clearly having a good time as her fellow contestants celebrated with her.

She was seen giving comedian Joe Pasquale a big hug as he also lapped up the relief at escaping the skate off once more, despite being placed in joint bottom place with Ghadie.
Samia was later seen sitting down chatting with the other stars as she drank a well deserved beer.
Ghadie had earlier written on her Twitter page, admitting she knew she was in trouble: 'Ok guys that wasn't my best performance but if u wana c me get better pls vote for me n @slongchambon on 6 5051 01 :) thanks! X.'

But it wasn't her night to go as it was Shayne Ward placed in the bottom two against Matt Lapinskas.
The pressure was on this week as contestants had to perform a 30 second solo routine, but Shane clearly failed to impress the voting public, despite picking up his best score yet from the judges.
Clearly emotional, he told host Philip Schofield: 'Matt was always going to come out on top. Thank you guys - you're such a great bunch.'

The judges decided to save Matt despite the fact that he fell on the ice during his save me skate, claiming that he was the better skater overall.
'This is the skate-off that should never have been,' said Karen Barber. 'Neither of you should be here but I'm going to save Matt.'
But despite narrowly being sent home, Matt seemed far from happy as he also celebrated after the live show.

He was seen chatting to his dance partner Brianne Delcourt, but while she looked happy and animated, the actor still looked sombre from the night's events.
Perhaps worried about having to go through the same next week or the reality of not getting enough public votes, he looked at her grimly before finally giving her a hand gesture as they knocked their fists together.
Shayne, meanwhile, took the opportunity to have leaving drinks with the stars as he bowed out of the programme.
Low score: Earlier in the evening she had performed on the ice with Sylvain, only managing to score 1 low 18 points
