Sometime less is certainly more; but we're all guilty of being a little frivolous at Christmas time.

And Chelsee Healey appears to have overdone the fake tan by applying oodles of the stuff to within an inch her life.

The Strictly Come Dancing runner-up may have needed a generous helping under the studio lights, but the series ended last week.

You've been Tango-ed: Chelsee Healey appears to have overdone the fake tan at at Panam nightclub in Liverpool

Winning smile: She may have lost out to Harry Judd, but she's still the top girl

Last night, the 23-year-old beauty headed out for some festivities to Liverpool nightclub Panam.

The Waterloo Road actress displayed a pair of enviably toned legs as her floor-length gown was slashed to the thigh.

She teamed the green and black creation with Christian Laboutin ankle boot heels and some rather large drop earrings to weigh her lobes down.

No wonder Healey is on a mission to party, considering her recent revelation that she is at a loss of what to do now she is no longer dancing.

Speaking of the BBC One show, she said: 'I don't know what to do.

'Strictly becomes a big part of your life and to wake up and not think about it and not to go to training - it's really upset me.'

X Factor rising star Rebecca Ferguson also put in an appearance, opting for a slightly safer option by stepping out in a plain black tassel dress.

However, she did spice up the ensemble with a beige clutch bag and funky zig-zag pattern heels - also by designer Laboutin.

The 25-year-old will be elated to re-enter the clubbing circuit and listen to music again, having banished herself to the studio to record her album.

Speaking of the recording process for her debut effort Heaven, she said: 'I was completely out of what was going on in the charts.

'I was just completely focused on my own music.'

A host of Desperate Scousewives took advantage of their new found fame, including Elissa Corrigan who was seen happily posing outside the venue.
