Emma Willis shared an insight into what Strictly Come Dancing looks like behind-the-scenes.
The host, 50, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share highlights from last weekend's shows, with one entertaining snap showing her tucking into some toast while her stylist helped carry the back of her glamorous dress to the dancefloor.
In others, Emma posed with her co-hosts, Josh Widdicombe, 43, and Johannes Radebe, 39, amid reports the presenting line-up will be changed for next year's series.
She captioned the post: 'busy old BTS this week.'
Emma also uploaded a snap of herself with judge Motsi Mabuse, who commented on the post: 'absolutely having a ball with you. Love it.'
It comes amid reports BBC chiefs have already come to the conclusion that the trio will have to change for next year's series.

Sources connected with the show say bosses are 'aware' that the programme has become a 'laughing stock' and are considering whether the wrong people were hired – and whether having three anchors was a mistake.
'When Emma, Josh and Johannes entered that room, they were seen to be the dream,' says a BBC source. 'Those at the BBC who didn't see them were shocked and didn't believe it could work.
'That view stands, it doesn't work. Not only have many of the traditional viewers stopped watching, the show has become the butt of jokes, a laughing stock.
'It's like those choosing were trying to be kooky and cool, and they saw something that might appeal to young people.
'Emma is a very experienced presenter but Josh looks like he's hanging around her like an uncool boy at school and she doesn't want him near her. That might be funny in other shows, but this is Strictly, the biggest show on Saturday-night television.
'It should be slicker, in the view of many at the top of the BBC, so there are changes afoot. There were so many brilliant presenters to choose from - Zoe Ball and Rylan Clark, for example - but they went for this lot.' Senior BBC bosses have started canvassing opinions from industry figures about what to do next year.
However, a BBC spokesman last night insisted any talk of changes for next year was 'pure and utter speculation'.

With the exception of Emma, the hosts were criticised in the first two weeks of Strictly for not being experienced enough as presenters. Radebe was lambasted by viewers for mixing up timings of when he should be speaking, while Widdicombe fluffed his lines.
One suggestion is that with the judges – Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Anton du Beke and Motsi Mabuse – coming to the end of their contracts at the end of this series, there could be a space for Radebe to join the panel.
It's thought that Emma, also the presenter of ITV rival The Voice, will stay while the future of Widdicombe could be in doubt. 'It isn't working,' says a show insider.
'Strictly isn't really for him, he probably knows that.' The current Strictly series has also been criticised for a line-up of contestants, relatively unknown to a traditional audience, with the BBC accused of 'chasing younger viewers at the expense of their older ones'.
