However, she quickly went onto detail the many changes her body had experiences and how it had an impact on her return to dancing.
The star continued: "Guys when I tell you, my body has changed, of course my body has changed like I pushed a head, two lungs, two eyes, two legs, two arms out, yes... but everything is soft.
"Like I was walking and my ankle just went. If I go down, my legs are like 'you need help to get back up', like I would spin and my organs would come after me behind, but I loved it.
"I love dancing again in the studio, with our students and teaching and everyone was like 'did you miss us?', I was like 'yes! I've been dancing in the living room, changing nappies and when somebody gets fed with a bottle'. I missed it and I missed them, they're my people.
