Standing outside a building wearing a sleeveless white Skechers top and pretty makeup with her long brown hair neatly styled, Janette beamed as she spoke directly to camera.

She said: "Doing some dancing today… she's a happy girl dancing, yay!"

She didn't specify what she was working on but it's clear that she isn't ready to hang up her dancing shoes after announcing that she was leaving the BBC show earlier this year.

Janette has made some great friends on the show, as she proved earlier this week when the 37-year-old paid tribute to one of her former co-stars, Ukrainian dancer Nadiya Bychkova, who turned 31 on Tuesday.

The star shared a video featuring herself, Nadiya and fellow pro dancer Luba Mushtuk on a speedboat, and the high speeds meant that Nadiya's hair and eyelashes were going everywhere!

Thankfully Nadiya saw the funny side, as she and her friends were laughing throughout the clip.

The video wasn't the only thing Janette shared to mark Nadiya's big day, as she also posted some black-and-white clips of the pair playing with a sunglasses filter.

She also included a short video of them strutting into a marketplace to the tune of Fergie's Glamorous and a snapshot of them eating in a restaurant.
