She set the dancefloor alight in the first-ever season in 2004, and now it appears Bec Hewitt is ready for her encore, as she prepares to take another twirl around the ballroom floor on Dancing With The Stars: All Stars.

In these exclusive first pictures, Bec, 37, was spotted sneaking into The Space Dance & Arts Centre in Melbourne recently, seeming to confirm swirling rumours she’s set to appear in the Seven reboot.

According to our spy, Bec has been frequenting the venue in recent weeks, with confirmed celebrities Ada Nicodemou, 43, Tom Williams, 50, and Fifi Box, 43, also being spotted heading into rehearsals for the show.

While the mum-of-three attempted to go under the radar, covering up in a black hoodie and leggings, our spy says she appeared to be wearing stage makeup, which suggests she may be filming her rehearsals, too.

The sighting marks Bec’s first major step back into prime-time TV since taking the DWTS crown in 2004 alongside professional dance partner – and model Rachael Finch’s husband – Michael Miziner.

For years, Bec put her career on hold to sit on the sidelines and cheer on tennis player husband Lleyton, 40.

However her love for dance has never waned, and she’s encouraged her daughters Mia, 15 and Ava, 10, to pursue dancing as well.

Rumoured judges

As Seven races around the clock to secure a roster of the show’s most memorable dancers from previous seasons, Woman’s Day hears producers have already secured the holy trinity of judges to help assess if they’ve still got the moves.

Dance judges Mark, Helen and Todd will be hard to impress.

According to a well-placed industry insider, Helen Ritchey, Mark Wilson and Todd McKenney have all got their grading paddles at the ready for their return to the judging panel for the All Stars reboot later this year.

Meet Fifi’s new man

Radio presenter Fifi Box is another star readying herself for a big public comeback!

The single mum-of-two, 43, was spotted grinning from ear to ear as she headed into rehearsals alongside her hunky dance partner, Jeremy Garner.
