Saucy Paula Deen pulls up her skirt while Mark Ballas slaps her bottom in cheeky jive on Dancing With The Stars
Paula Deen showed what she's made of on Monday's switch-up episode of Dancing With The Stars.
Despite confessing her fear that temporary pro partner Mark Ballas would be 'too edgy' for her, it was the Southern chef who turned out to be the edgy one.
As she and Ballas did a jive as a milkman and housewife, the 68-year-old hitched up her skirt to flash her buttocks at the audience and then let the pro dancer repeatedly slap her booty.
