But Natalie Gumede has revealed she's feeling nervous about what she thinks is her hardest routine to date - the Jive this weekend.
The former Coronation Street actress made the admission as she and dance partner Artem Chigvinstev arrived for an interview on BBC Breakfast on Thursday morning.
That's brave! Natalie Gumede went bare-legged in
a daringly short miniskirt for an appearance on BBC Breakfast with
partner Artem Chigvintsev on Thursday
The 29-year-old actress showed off her dancer's legs in a daringly short miniskirt as she posed up with Artem outside the studios.
Natalie teamed the skirt, which appeared to be a leather mini, with a patterned blue jumper and a black overcoat and studded bag.
Somewhat over confident in the ever-changeable British weather, Natalie also opted to go bare-legged for the outing.

Nervous: Natalie has admitted she's feeling nervous about this weekend's performance of the Jive
She finished off her look with black peeptoe heels, and left her natural corkscrew curls down and loose.
While Natalie is impressing the Strictly judges more and more each week, she admitted that she's feeling the pressure about this routine.
She said: 'I love it, I can’t wait to get out there and perform it on Saturday, we are dancing it to Proud Mary. But it is hard – it is fast and furious and if you miss a step it’s kind of all over.'
However, Artem argued: 'Sometimes a harder routine doesn’t come off as effectively, so you need to find a contrast between light and heavy and shapes, things that make it interesting so I don’t think it is about getting harder, it is about getting it right.'
Wowing the judges: Natalie has been topping the leaderboard week after week with her incredible routines
It remains to be seen just how Natalie's routine this weekend will affect her odds, but the pretty star currently remains favourite to win.
She is at 11-10 to win the Glitterball trophy, and an equally optimistic 8-13 to once again top the leaderboard on this weekend's show.
But she has some competition from Abbey Clancy who, despite being int he dance off last weekend, currently has odds of 7-2 to once again rise to top the leaderboard, according to bookmaker Coral.
Favourite to be axed from this Sunday's show is Fiona Fullerton, at 15-8, while Hairy Biker Dave Myers is expected to get the lowest score, at 1-33.
Coral’s Nicola McGeady said: 'This year’s Strictly has certainly caused plenty of shocks and although Abbey Clancy finished in the bottom two last weekend, punters haven’t lost faith in her and we’ve taken a surge of bets on the model knocking Natalie off the top of the table on Sunday night.'
