Jowita Przystal waved to fans as she headed to the Strictly Come Dancing live tour practice on Tuesday.
The professional dancer, 30, was seen heading into the studios alongside Karen Hauer and the rest of the cast.
Jowita reached the semi-finals with Pete Wicks - whom she was rumoured to have romance with.
But The Mail on Sunday revealed last month that Pete, 37, had put a stop to his romantic liaison with his Strictly partner Jowita because he was determined to win the heart of I'm A Celeb and Love Island star Maura Higgins, 34, with the pair spending Christmas together.
Jowita, who is now linked to her co-star Vito Coppola, wore a navy and light grey checked overshirt and a dark blue hoodie with a New York Yankees baseball cap.
She completed the look with a pair of baggy light blue jeans and some white trainers with a black sole.

The Mail on Sunday revealed last month that Pete had put a stop to his romantic liaison with his Strictly partner Jowita.
Sources close to Pete said he was telling friends he was completely smitten with Maura, who he had been casually dating for the past five months.
When he began Strictly and met Jowita, Maura gave up any hope of the relationship continuing.
A friend said: 'Before Maura entered the jungle, Pete wanted to make their relationship exclusive.
'But Maura, aware of Pete's reputation and his close bond with Jowita, decided to slow things down.
'She gave him an ultimatum: either commit to her or let it go. So she went off a single woman.
'Since then, Pete has gone all-in, openly expressing his feelings to anyone who'll listen.'
And it seems their relationship is back on track after many fans suspected she was joined by her rumoured boyfriend when she jetted to Ireland for Christmas.
The two reality stars were pictured beaming as they loaded luggage into a car together ahead of Christmas Day, preparing to head off on a festive getaway.
