Neil, 40, was dressed in a white linen shirt and being cargo trousers whilst Chyna, 24, partook in the Rumba in a matching white two-piece.
The pair soaked up the sun whilst on holiday in Bali, Indonesia and they danced together against a picturesque sunset backdrop.
However, Chyna was without a large baby-bump even though she flaunted her growing abdomen in recent days.
As a result of posting the old video before she was pregnant, the former ITV2 star received loads of messages asking her if she had indeed given birth.

One fan wrote: "Is the baby here already ?"
"Me looking for the baby bump. CONGRATS!!", exclaimed a second.
However the star confirmed on her stories that their baby had not arrived in the world just yet.
Reposting the clip she wrote: "No. I've not given birth yet.

"This video was taken when I was around 3 months pregnant. Baby will come when she is ready & I will let everyone when she's made an appearance."
She added: "Please stop asking me."
The couple are expecting the arrival of their daughter during the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, and Neil previously revealed his backup plan if Chyna going into labour during a show.
Neil admitted he’s all set for if it happens, but added that he’ll urge Chyna to “hold on as long as she can.”
He told OK!: "Chyna is ready to pop – she's raring to go. We're not sure when it's going to happen but if it's during a live show, we're prepared for that.
"It would be ideal if it happened when I had some time off, but I'm buzzing with anticipation."
Their happy news is also the likely reason why Neil did not get partnered up with a celebrity on the new series of the BBC dancing show.
The pro dancer, 41, has only had two celeb partners in his eight years on the show, Alex Scott and Nina Wadia, finishing fifth and 15th, respectively.
He's once again partner-less and it's left fans speculating as to why in an online fan forum.
One person mused: "Apparently he helps a lot with choreography for other couples. Also he's having first baby soon isn't he? So can see why he wouldn't have partner this year."
Another agreed, again noting that Neil and his Love Island girlfriend Chyna Mills, 24, will soon become first time parents.

They said: "I feel like this particular year he may have opted not to have a celeb as his baby is on the way, but in previous years though, I really feel bad he's been benched 6/8 of his Seasons on the show."
