Shirley Ballas has treated fans to a peek behind the scenes on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, which is now tantalisingly close.
As well as catching up with her co-stars, the 61-year-old head judge stripped off for her first spray tan of the series - which she revealed to followers as she posed up in nothing but a loose-fitting shirt.
“What are Anton and I up to,” teased Shirley as she posted a slew of snaps and secret videos to nstagram.
In one of the clips, she and Anton were stood with their arms round each other on the classic set.
Addressing her viewers, Shirley says: “What is going on on this show tomorrow, at our age? What are we doing at our age tomorrow?
“Now I’m just going to leave you all to think about that for the launch show.”
“Are you excited,” she asks Anton who confesses he is “very excited” and that he “can’t wait” - saying that he has been “ready for months”.
Shirley adds: “We’re ready, tune in to the launch show because we have something very special on our bucket lists.”
She later films herself in a floor-length mirror as she gets her fake tan ahead of a long day of filming tomorrow.
“Here we are, it’s going to be the Strictly tan,” she says. “I’ve got a tan on my legs, on my back and on my arms but not on my face, I need it for tomorrow.”
It comes after Shirley sparked concerns that she could miss the first episode after testing positive for Covid-19.
Just days ago, the star took to her social media to tell her followers that she is currently unwell.
Shirley shared a video while she was self-isolating at home after testing positive. Filming herself while wearing a mask going makeup free with her hair tied back, she said she was on her third day of being stuck at home.
She said: "So, day three of my Covid, and cleaning the silver and staying busy because I can't sit still. Thank you all for your well-wishes, feeling a little bit better today.
"Hopefully it will clear in a couple of days and I hope everybody is having a really good time and I'm cleaning this one. Keeping busy."
Shirley is due to return to the judging panel of Strictly Come Dancing again this year, along with Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and former pro dancer Anton du Beke.
