The actress – along with the remainder of the – were treated to a fun-filled music night at the watering hole.
Mandy Dingle soap star , 49, kicked off the action, grabbing an gold sparkly microphone and belting out a rendition of Gloria Gaynor hit, I Will Survive.
After she opened proceedings, Kelly Brook gushed: “Lisa on karaoke absolutely nailed it, she got the party started.”
Tom Read-Wilson then took the energy down a few notches with his version of My Fair Lady classic, I Could Have Danced All Night.
Rapper Aitch, supported by AngryGinge acting as Ed Sheeran, then belted out his version of the pair’s My G hit, penned in tribute to his little sister Gracie.
Martin Kemp, known equally for his stint and as Spandau Ballet vocalist, then attempted to perform the band’s iconic hit Gold.
And despite already having her time in the spotlight, Lisa appeared eager for more moments on the microphone.
She could be seen grabbing the glittery device at every opportunity, while Martin appeared to struggle to share it.
The tune ended up being a duet before the rest of the cast joined in to finish the last lines.
After the track, Aitch took to the Jungle Telegraph for his review.
He said: “Spandau Ballet. Gold. Martin Kemp.
“Legendary, beautiful.”
Lisa, who also ad libbed on sections of the track, then gushed to the camera: “I just sang Gold with Martin Kemp.
“It’s going to take a long time to bring me down from that one.”

They were also left in hysterics at
Her stint on the show will be a surprise to many, after we reported she had only told two people about her jungle stint prior to the show.
Before heading Down Under, Lisa confessed her jungle role to two people, her fiancé Al Benkovic, and co-star , who plays Paddy Kirk on the soap.
Dominic and Lisa have worked together on the soap for decades, and he felt it was a privilege to be told the good news.
But the pressure was huge to keep it under wraps, that Dominic even kept it from his wife.
“I thought, right, if you’re telling me, I’m not even going to tell my wife,” he told the Mirror.
“I don’t keep any secrets from my wife, so it was very strange. But it was great. It was really exciting as well.”
