Sharing a smiling snap of herself during lockdown in 2020, Judi wrote: "It’s a pleasure sharing and interacting with my followers online, and many of you see bits of my life through my videos and pictures on my socials and other platforms. But we never know what’s really happening behind a screen.
WATCH: Judi opened up about her time on Strictly
"In this photo I had to film a show from home due to lockdown and I’d had a long day sorting out my dad's care. I was tired but so looking forward to working, mainly because it would be a distraction and a chance to just interact with someone. You can be so busy and overwhelmed at times that you just forget to have a real conversation, a moment when you actually ask someone 'How are you?' And honestly respond or actually listen to their response."

The Strictly star continued: "This January I am working with @whatsapp and @greatgettogether again to encourage you all to connect with your loved ones and check in. Just like in this picture, we can all put on a big smile and take a selfie but I want to encourage people to be honest about how they’re really feeling and take a moment to reconnect."

Judi's father passed away in April 2021, and she posted on Instagram: "I feel empty and heartbroken for many reasons. RIP Dad. These last few weeks I tried to make you comfortable, I tried to get to you dad, I really did. Rest Well."
