It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it!

The images were posted on Instagram to her 236k followers, and showed an insight into what the Strictly judge has been up to at the Portuguese retreat.

“I even tried volleyball today lol trampolining was an experience in itself. I’m happy I took time to focus on myself, to do the things I love, long time overdue and I met some very cool people.
