She also partnered Matthew Cutler in the professional dances. In April 2010 rehearsals started for the Strictly Come Dancing Professionals Tour in which she partnered Matthew Cutler & two weeks later the opening night started the 12-week tour.

She returned in 2011 for the 9th series of the show, where she and partner Harry Judd of pop-rock band McFly went on to win the competition, beating Chelsee Healey in the public vote and coming top in the final judges leader-board.{{cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2011/12/18/mcfly-star-harry-judd-wins-the-strictly-come-dancing-final-115875-23640170/ |title=McFly star Harry Judd wins the Strictly Come Dancing final – 3am & Mirror Online |publisher=Mirror.co.uk |date=18 December 2011 |access-date=12 November 2012}} Vilani and Judd then went on to compete and win the 2012 Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour.

Vilani returned for the 2012 series of Strictly Come Dancing, where she was paired with television presenter Johnny Ball. A training accident in the three-week interval resulted in torn ligaments for Vilani, causing her to retire at least temporarily from the show. She was replaced by Iveta Lukošiūtė who, with Ball, went on to be eliminated in the first week.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/blogstrictlycomedancing/posts/Johnny-Ball-leaves-Strictly |publisher=BBC|title=BBC – Blogs – Strictly Come Dancing – Johnny Ball leaves Strictly}} Vilani did however return in the final group dance alongside Ball, and later took part in the 2012 Christmas Special, partnering Fabrice Muamba. In a TV interview in October 2017, Ball claimed Vilani faked the injury, with Vilani denying the allegation and saying she would take legal advice over Ball's comments.[https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/strictly-come-dancing-aliona-vilani_uk_59e5ce4be4b02a215b32b379 'Strictly Come Dancing': Aliona Vilani 'Taking Legal Advice' As She Denies Johnny Ball's Claims] Huffington Post, 17 October 2017. Retrieved 27 December 2018.

In June 2013 it was announced that Vilani would not be competing in series 11. However, she reportedly reacted angrily, stating that it was "not her decision to leave, and I had planned to be on the show and now I have to make new plans".{{cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/strictly-come-dancing-aliona-vilani-1934692 |title=Strictly Come Dancing: Aliona Vilani furious after being axed from the show |publisher=Mirror.co.uk |date=6 June 2013 |access-date=12 August 2013}} However, on 2 September 2013 it was further reported that professional dancer Natalie Lowe had a foot injury and that she would be replaced by Vilani.{{cite web|author=Daisy Buchanan |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/strictly-come-dancing-pro-aliona-2245283 |title=Strictly Come Dancing pro Aliona Vilani returns to the show, replacing injured Natalie Lowe – Mirror Online |date=2 September 2013 |publisher=Mirror.co.uk |access-date=2 September 2013}} Her partner for series 11 was championship golfer Tony Jacklin but the couple were the first to be eliminated (in week 2).
