Regulars at Carlton Bingo in Elgin had a new caller when Douglas Ross took a turn at drawing the numbers for a charity game.
Moray's MP, who sits on the all-party parliamentary group on Bingo, was invited to the club to celebrate National Bingo Day.
The event raised £15,000 which was donated to Variety, the Children’s Charity.
Mr Ross, who is also the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, said: "I want to thank Rebecca and her team for hosting me.
"I also want to thank them for all their hard work to ensure that they keep their customers Covid-safe, allowing people once again to enjoy a game of bingo.
"Bingo halls had a really tough time due to Covid lockdowns, so it was great to see so many people having a good night out in Elgin.
"I thank everyone for their patience as I called the numbers!"
Rebecca Hadden, who's the deputy manager at Cartlon Bingo, said: "We were delighted to welcome Douglas to celebrate National Bingo Day with us.
"Our staff and customers had a good talk with him, and he did a brilliant job calling the numbers in our charity game.
"Bingo clubs are at the heart of their communities, and we greatly appreciate Douglas’ support for us."
