The dancer, who shares an eight-month-old son with Tom, posted: "Breaking my social media detox to share this very special moment of 2020.

"As a 'small' fan of Mr @harrystyles it’s an understatement to say that it was a pleasure to be a part of this masterpiece.

"Practising what he preaches & is hands down one of the kindest people I’ve met, teamed with the effortlessly cool & wonderful @phoebewallerbridgeweb - This really is something I will cherish forever."

It read: "Keep the honest moments close to your heart. The ones that are the most human.

"When you laugh until your ribs ache with your friends, when you feel stars exploding inside of you from falling in love, when life breaks you open those tears of transformation pour like a river from your soul.

"Live is really quite simple. We get to experience this planet for a brief while. We get to learn how to love ourselves and one another for the strange, messy, and magical creatures we are."
