Nadiya Bychkova showcased her incredible figure in a bikini for a reflective Instagram post on Sunday, following her axe from Strictly's professional lineup.
The Ukrainian dancer, 36, who starred on the glitzy ballroom series for nine years, looked sensational in the clip which saw her dive into a swimming pool amid her getaway to Slovenia.
Seemingly referencing her BBC axe and huge career change, Nadiya wrote: 'Sometimes you just have to jump'.
She later posted a gorgeous sun-soaked selfie while enjoying lunch with the caption: 'Less than 48 hours in sLOVEnia, but just enough to fill my heart.'
BBC fans have been left stunned in recent weeks as favourites Nadiya, Karen Hauer, 43, Michelle Tsiakkas, 30, Luba Mushtuk, 36, and Gorka Marquez, 35, have all been given the boot.
Meanwhile BBC bosses have still not secured new hosts, and it's a race against time with just five months to go before the 24th series is due to kick off.
Leaks about celebrity competitors normally begin to circulate around this time of year, but instead all the focus is on finding replacements for Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, who departed the flagship show last year.
Tess and Claudia, who had presented the show for 21 years, announced they were leaving back in October but six months on and there's still no confirmation of who will be taking over.
In the latest update, it's been revealed that a series of presenting auditions will be held this week with nine stars set to go head to head.
After weeks of speculation and multiple major names turning the job down, nine shortlisted stars have been summoned to a top-secret location in London to battle it out in full-scale dress rehearsals with a judging panel and live band in a bid to get the troubled show back on track.
BBC bosses will be holding the secret auditions and chemistry tests with the celebrities from Monday until Friday and have forced the stars to sign strict NDAs to keep the tryouts under wraps.

A source told The Sun: 'It's not just about reading autocue. They'll be looking at how people work together and humour is a massive part of it. There's everything to play for.'
The chosen few who have been called to the final test will be watched closely and bosses are hoping to make a decision soon.
Among those confirmed to be in the callbacks are Rylan Clark, Emma Willis, Tom Allen, podcast host Angela Scanlon and One Show presenter Alex Jones.
Other stars summoned to the auditions are This Morning host Alison Hammond, The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh, RuPaul's Drag Race star La Voix and Radio 2's Zoe Ball.
A source said: 'They really want to bring the fun this year. It's all about chemistry who clicks instantly and can keep the energy up live on air.
'They could stick with two female hosts as that's worked brilliantly. But they're also open to mixing it up.
'If Rylan and Tom Allen click, that could be a hilarious pairing. Equally, they could even introduce a third presenter to shake things up.'
Bosses are believed to be testing a range of combinations and nothing is off the table.
