Raygun has shared new photos of her post-Olympics getaway following her infamous breakdancing flop in Paris.

The viral B-girl arrived back in Sydney on Monday morning after escaping the spotlight in recent weeks while vacationing in Europe.

Gunn released a series of images showing her with Branson, Boy George, her husband and Aussie TV presenter Sonia Kruger — solving the mystery of what she has really been up to in recent weeks.

The most striking photos showed Branson bowing down to Gunn while at a public restaurant. Video shared by Gunn also showed Branson getting onto his knees and kissing her hands.

“I thought you were going to get down and like do a breakdance pose or something,” she responded before Branson got back to his feet with a laugh.

The private moment is one of many Gunn has given her fans a look at with her post also showing behind the scenes photos on one of Branson’s Virgin Voyages cruises as well. Other photos show her back stage at a Boy George show and celebrating life with Branson at what appears to be a chateau in Europe.

Gunn titled the post “What a time, what a vibe.”

The photo that has gotten most attention from Instagram users is one that shows the breaker, Boy George and her husband performing Gunn’s iconic kangaroo pose.

Photos and videos from last week showed Gunn and the Virgin Group founder busting out some moves together on board one of the luxury ships.

Video footage showed Raygun welcomed onto the stage to huge cheers, and talking about what she loves most about breakdancing.

Footage also showed Gunn and Branson on the dance floor, pulling out the performer’s signature kangaroo hop move.

The video also showed Branson taking her hand and pulling her into the pool with him.

Gunn returned to headlines around the world on Monday when the World DanceSport Federation released its latest rankings which had the Aussie sitting atop the list.

Despite her new found home as the world No. 1, Raygun stated she would be stepping away from competition in her first sit-down interview.

“I don’t think I’ll be competing for a while. Not really wanting to be in the spotlight, breaking, competing,” she said on The Project.

“It’s been nice. It’s been a bit of a process to try and start dancing again. Like, that’s actually been tough. You know, it was my medicine, and then it turned into my source of stress.

“So, I’m really happy that it gets to go back to being my medicine. I can kind of finally feel free again. I’m looking forward to breaking, but, no, I don’t think I’ll compete for a while.”

It likely won’t be the last we see of the divisive figure either after she reportedly caught the attention of the producers of Channel 10 show “I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!”
