Her late husband, Patrick Swayze, famously sashayed and swayed his way around the iconic movie, Dirty Dancing. 

His widow, Lisa Niemi, recreates a scene from the film at the unveiling of the late actor’s waxwork in Madame Tussauds, Hollywood. 

Looking proud, she spreads her arms in a soaring gesture and gazes up at the life-sized figure.

The homage comes two years after the 57-year-old actor passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Lisa was clearly pleased with the results, which re-create the famous scene where he uses a log to teach Baby to balance.

"It became clear to me that someone had put a lot of love into this, for a man I loved so very much.

"He is saying come and be fearless with me.

"Go out there on a limb. Just trust. Don't look down. Take a chance in whatever you do."
