Alongside regaining her position on the hit BBC show, Aliona will also be opening the next series with Jay McGuinness after they danced their way to victory, last year. 
The Russian-Kazakh dancer decided to walk away from the BBC One series in December in order to start a family with her husband Vincent Kavanagh but admitted shortly afterwards that she couldn't stop crying due to regret.
She said at the time: 'I'm missing it already. When I decided to leave after the final I cried my eyes out. It was very upsetting for me. It was a really hard decision.'

Meanwhile, this year's series, which will hit screens in the autumn, has been given a huge shake-up as three new dancers will be joining the professional line-up.
World Champion Katya Jones, Ukrainian Champion Oksana Platero and top Spanish dance professional Gorka Marquez will help to guide the celebrity contestants on the dance show, which features judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell.  
Last year, Aliona sparked speculation over her close relationship with her 2015 celebrity partner Jay McGuiness.
Family plans? Aliona announced on Tuesday her decision to leave Strictly Come Dancing, with insiders claiming she is hoping to start a family with husband Vincent Kavanagh (pictured on Saturday after the show's finale)

However, insiders told The Sun that the stunning professional dancer has decided to quit in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a mum. 
Aliona, who married husband Vincent Kavanagh last year, is reportedly keen to start trying for a baby 'right away'. 
Aliona, who guided The Wanted singer Jay to victory this season, told fans her triumphant turn on the 2015 run would be her last via Twitter.

A source close to the dancer told The Sun that Aliona felt it was time to focus on her personal life after years on the BBC show.
'Aliona loves children and is ready to have a family. As much as she loves Strictly she doesn't want to put her plans for a baby on hold any more,' the source claims. 'They are going to start trying right away.'
The Daily Star meanwhile quotes another insider who reveals that the professional dancer is 'a very private person' who grew 'increasingly stressed' at the speculation over her marriage during this series of Strictly.

The dancer's announcement comes after she faced criticism over her very cosy relationship with the former The Wanted singer.
She was pictured looking very intimate with him following their amazing victory on Saturday night's finale episode, drawing further attention to their strong bond.
But hours later, Aliona was back with her husband, looking happy to be in his company and gazing lovingly into his eyes.

Jay insisted Aliona was his 'best friend' during their time together on the 2015 series and said their chemistry on the show was all part of the act.
He explained on ITV's Lorraine chat show: 'When you dance with someone you have to create romance sometimes and people then want to see that almost. We did something that so few people do together, I genuinely will treasure it forever.
'Honestly, you spend that many hours together you talk about every single thing, like the most trivial and the most pretentious, literally everything. No matter what happens you get a best friend out of Strictly.'
