Scarlett is no stranger to dancing having already competed in the Strictly ballroom in Blackpool.

The TV star was a semi-professional dancer as a child and previously shared a sweet clip of her doing a Tango routine aged 10.

She penned in the caption: ‘HUGE throwback to 10-year-old Scarlett back in 2001.

‘Doing a ballroom tango dance demonstration for the UKA in the wintergardens at Blackpool!

‘Come on Scarlett you can do better than that, compress your knees more and sharpen those head movements #tbt #tb #throwbackthursday #dance #tango.’

Scarlett, who began dancing aged six, quit dancing once she started university due to her struggle with the commute.

Two years ago she was hotly-anticipated to be in the celebrity line-up of Strictly Come Dancing due to her previous experience in the field.

However, Scarlett insisted that she wouldn’t take part in the popular show.

Speaking previously on The Wright Stuff, she  explained: ‘I feel like I would get more grief for doing Strictly because I’ve danced before.

‘People would say it won’t be fair because she’s already danced.’
