The pro dancer, 34, sparkled in a feathery bejewelled jumpsuit as she made her debut behind the turntables at the Discoliscious event on Saturday in Shoreditch, East London.

We previously revealed Strictly chiefs ditched pro dancer Nadiya from this year's main line-up amid fears she was too old at 34 to dance with 20-year-old Bobby Brazier.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023Bosses reckoned viewers of the BBC1 telly contest wouldn’t be comfortable with the 14-year age gap between the Ukrainian and the EastEnders actor.
The shock snub comes despite a string of other pairings with huge age gaps over the years — which have not attracted any controversy during performances.
A TV insider said: “The only person she could have been paired with is Bobby, who stands at 6ft 2ins, and is by far the tallest celeb on this year’s show.
“On the basis of height, it was expected that they would form a duo on this series.
“But bosses felt there was something odd about the fact that the particularly fresh-faced Bobby only turned 20 this summer, while Nadiya is a mature woman.
“It’s not solely about the actual age gap, however."
