Earlier this month it was confirmed that previous Dancing With The Stars winner Ada Nicodemou is headed back to the ballroom for her chance to snatch that mirror ball trophy one more time.

And now, the former Home & Away actor has provided fans with a first behind the scenes look at what the show truly entails.

Facebook has changed the way you receive your news and gossip. Scroll to end of this story to see how to keep up to date with New Idea!

WATCH: Ada Nicodemou shares first look at Dancing With The Stars gig

Fans were over the moon when actress Ada Nicodemou, 43, was announced as the first celeb to be returning for Channel Seven's all-new Dancing With The Stars: All Stars edition.

Along with the 43-year-old, radio presenter Fifi Box and TV presenter Tom Williams will also be making their way back to the dance floor - all hoping to foxtrot their way to victory. 

As preparations for the show kick into full swing, Ada has shared a first look into her current life as a dancer. And, let's just say, it's not a pretty sight.

Ada has shared a first look into her new dancing gig.

Taking to her Instagram story, a sweaty and breathless Ada panted her way through an update alongside her DWTS dance partner Aric Yegudkin, who she originally braved the dance floor with sixteen years ago. How sweet! 

"I can't breathe," an out-of-breath Ada started the video as she tried to recover from her workout.

"How many hours did we just do?' the actress asked her dance partner. 

"It was a good three hour HIIT" Aric replied.

HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. And, by george, intense is right.

Ada is the first celeb confirmed to be returning for the new season of Dancing With The Stars.

Ada further drove home how difficult she was finding the workouts, captioning the video, "dance training is killing me!!!" before sharing a photo of herself spread eagle on the ground captioned "dead' and "I'm tired".

But, as the winner of season three of the original DWTS, we all know Ada has what it takes to be the last one standing... or, should we say, dancing.

The 43-year-old is also remaining optimistic, adding a "but loving it!" caption to one of her videos before exclaiming "it's going well".

Ada announced she would be returning to the competition on her Instagram, sharing a series of iconic throwback pics from her days on the dance floor.

"Who would've thought that 16 years later I'd put putting my dancing shoes back on. My original dance-partner and I @aricyegudkin are doing @dancingau again!!! 💃🏼🕺🏻." Ada wrote.

"We are beyond excited and can't wait to find out who the rest of the cast is. Don't you love the old shots? Made me both laugh and cringe 😬 🤣 #dancingwiththestars @channel7."

We're so excited to find out who else is headed for the dance floor!
