We always love seeing what our favourite Strictly dancers are up to and Shirley Ballas gave us a sweet sneak peek into a Strictly reunion on her Instagram!

Taking to social media, the judge and fellow dancers celebrated Executive Producer Sarah James' 40th birthday.

Shirley reunited with Strictly favourites like Giovanni Pernice and 2021 winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, as well as Kai Widdrington and AJ Odudu who also danced in the 2021 series. Shirley also caught up with dancers Nancy Xu Xi, Carlos Gu and Vito Coppola.

In one video, Ballas looked ready to do the show's signature 'Keep Dancing' move with professional dancer Oti Mabuse.

She captioned her instagram post saying: "A few snaps with some of the @bbcstrictly family. ❤️🪩 Celebrating the 40th birthday of our superstar @sarahjamesface. A beautiful soul inside and out. So very blessed to have her as our Executive Producer. Her work is flawless. Xxxx"

The Strictly legend, known as the Queen of Latin for her dancing prowess, looked ready to dance the night away in a white ruffled blouse and golden sequinned trousers. She wore her signature pink lipstick and had a big smile on her face in every picture.

Shirley has been keeping busy recently, attending a Father's Day gala performance of the musical comedy Mrs Doubtfire in support of Comic Relief. She attended the performance in a bold pink jacket and skirt, with a support band on her foot as she recovers from a gardening accident. We hope you get better soon, Shirley!
