Meanwhile, Aliona returned for the nationwide live dance shows a couple of weeks ago, after quitting the BBC show to start a family with her husband Vincent.
Having scooped the Glitterball trophy for a second time last December, Aliona recently explained that she left Strictly on a high during a recent appearance on Loose Women.
She explained: 'I’ve had an amazing seven years and I wanted to leave on a high.
'I don't think it could get any better and also on personal level, Strictly takes up all of your time. You're not seeing your friends, your family and I just want to live my life and hopefully start a family.'
