That didn’t take long.

Ricki Lake -- who credits Kristie Alley as her inspiration -- wasted no time building a grassroots following for her stint on this fall's Dancing With The Stars, uploading a YouTube video Monday night in which claimed she's "more than a little nervous.

"I'm terrified!" Lake said shortly after ABC announced this season’s cast.

The Hairspray beauty said she's "hoping to channel Kirstie Alley because she's a great inspiration for me," in reference to the Look Who’s Talking Star’s solid run on ABC’s ballroom hit last season.
