The ex-Emmerdale actress performed an energetic Cha-Cha to Aretha Franklins 'Think' and bowled the judges over in the process.
On finishing her dance with partner Robin, Lisa received a standing ovation from the audience and glowing praise from the judges, scoring an impressive 30 out of 40 points.
Lisa had previously said to the press that she wouldn't take criticism from Craig Revel-Horwood well, threatening to punch him backstage if he wasn't very nice to her.
However, Craig had nothing but praise for the actress who instead of receiving a smack round the face got a kiss on the cheek from the Lisa.

Close behind Lisa was Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh who also wowed the judges with her Cha-Cha to Jessie J's Domino.
Kimberley received 28 points putting her in second place, followed by Olympic gymnast Louis Smith with 27.

Not all the celebrities however performed quite as well.
Model Jerry Hall received some rather damp praise from the judges after her somewhat lackluster Cha-Cha with Anton Du Beake.
Craig cattily remarked: "You've taken minimal to a whole new level."
Strictly Come Dancing returns next week when the first celebrity will leave the competition.
