She's been setting the dancefloor alight as a contestant in Strictly Come Dancing - and Daisy Lowe was dressed to the nines as she walked her dog Monty on Monday. 

The 27-year-old looked incredible in a very short floral mini dress which appeared a little overdressed for the outing. 

Showing off her long legs, she wore a pair of black tights, but shunned heels for comfortable military-style lace-up boots.

Wow thing: Strictly's Daisy Lowe is dancefloor ready in very short floral dress and oversized fluffy coat to walk dog Monty on Monday... as she admits she is 'so insecure'

She kept out the cold, wearing an oversized padded jacket which had a fluffy trim as she spent some time with her beloved pooch in London.  

This weekend, Daisy dazzled the Strictly judges with her Mary Poppins themed quickstep for the show's annual Movie Week.

More conservative in her dress, the brunette took the floor in a prim white blouse and a brown skirt, complete with old fashioned bonnet.

And while EastEnders star Tameka Empson bowed out of the competition on Sunday night, Daisy remains a possible contender for the Strictly glitterball.

It was a surprise when two of the show's top performers found themselves in the Dance-off.

Though in the end, television presenter Laura Whitmore was ultimately saved by three out of four professionals on the judging panel. 

However, despite her incredible sartorial display, the beautiful model reveals she sometimes feels 'so insecure' and wants to boost other women's confidence during her time on the talent show.  

In an interview with The Sunday People, she explained: 'Every day we’re shown images about the perfect body and what it should be – but we just have the ones that we live in.'

The model has looked sensational in each of her three performances, and she's more than content with her 10-stone figure.

However, Daisy admitted that she hasn't always been so comfortable in her own skin and claimed at times she's been unable to get out of bed because of her insecurities. 

'I think feeling insecure can be completely crippling,' said the star. 'I have had times in my life when I have been unable to get out of bed because I have felt so insecure.

Daisy also revealed that she was staying in great shape thanks to four hours of dancing per day. 

'But I think the most important lesson I’ve learned is that you have only one body, so you might as well enjoy it. My weight yo-yos so much. It always has. I am now a bit ­trimmer because I’ve been dancing four hours a day.'

On Saturday night's edition of Strictly, Daisy dazzled the judges with her Mary Poppins themed quickstep for the show's movie week.

Dressing as the famous character in a soft white blouse fastened with a red bow, the model glided effortlessly across the floor with partner Aljaz Skorjanec - scoring an excellent 31 points from the judges.

Talking in rehearsal, the stunning daughter of Pearl Lowe had expressed slight concern about the dance, admitting: 'It is so fast... there are so many steps, but it is really fun!'

However the brunette mesmerised the audience and judges alike on the night, as she hopped and skipped across the dance floor to a favourite tune of the movie, A Spoonful of Sugar.

The charming routine featured a more complex Charleston section in the middle, in which she impressed with her precise and sharp footwork in the comfort of Aljaz's hold.
