Strictly Come Dancing’s Michelle Tsiakkas, who joined the show in 2022 as one of four new pro dancers, is currently taking a New Year break in her hometown Limassol, Cyprus.
The 27-year-old dancer shared snippets of her holiday on her Instagram story which included enjoying a meal at the Columbia Beach Resort, as well as a cup of Cypriot coffee.
She also shared a sweet photo with a Cypriot relative and her dog in a car, captioning it ‘road trip.’
