She's currently wowing fans with her sexy moves on Strictly Come Dancing with partner Brendan Cole.

And it seems that even when Lulu isn't strutting her stuff on the dance floor, she just can't help busting a move - as she showed at the 56th annual Women Of The Year Lunch today.

The 62-year-old singer grabbed charity campaigner Katie Piper and started dancing with her in front of the waiting cameras at London's Intercontinental Hotel.

After enjoying a pas de deux with Katie, Lulu then posed up with Esther Rantzen, teaching her some of the moves she has picked up during her time on the BBC show.

Lulu donned an all-black outfit brightened with a shiny biker-style jacket as she picked up the Sacla Women of the Year Lifetime Achievement prize at today's awards.

Talking about picking up the award, Lulu said: 'When I attended the Women of the Year Lunch last year I was so moved by the amazing women I met and the inspiring work they do in their communities, nationwide and indeed worldwide.

'To be invited back again as a winner is beyond my wildest expectations and I am both humbled and thrilled.

'What I have learned is that when women roll up their sleeves, there is no end to what we can achieve.'

Meanwhile, Katie, who now runs her own charity to help people living with disfigurement after suffering a violent acid attack back in 2007, looked stunning in a royal blue form-fitting dress as she picked up the Sainsbury's Women of the Year 'You Can' Award.

The 28-year-old former model said: 'This is particularly special coming from so many inspiring women.

'It means a lot to me to have such support and encouragement along my journey, from women I admire.'
