Congratulations are in order for former Strictly Come Dancing professionals Janette Manrara and Aljaž Skorjanec who have announced that they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who became fan favourites after joining the Strictly line-up back in 2013, took to Instagram to share their baby news as they posted a snap from a photoshoot with Hello! where Aljaž could be seen cradling Janette’s blossoming bump.
"We’re so happy to share our special news!" the pair wrote of their pregnancy joy. So, as the couple embark on a new chapter in their relationship, let’s take a look at where their love story first began… With their shared love of dancing, perhaps it’s no surprise that the dancefloor is exactly where the couple met in 2010 when they performed alongside one another in a production of Burn The Floor.
By the time they both joined BBC One’s Strictly in 2013 the pair were an item and Janette even cites the show as having “saved” their relationship by stopping them from going long-distance. In fact, before securing a slot on the popular show, Aljaž, 32, was preparing to head to Slovenia while Janette, 39, was about to be over 6,000 miles away in Los Angeles.
“Getting Strictly Come Dancing was the most incredible thing, not just for my career but for my personal life and marriage with Aljaž because if it wasn’t for Strictly, I don’t know if we could have worked through the long-distance thing,” Janette told the Sliding Doors podcast in 2021. After dating for a number of years, Aljaž got down on one knee and proposed to Janette in 2015 after taking her back to the dance studio where they met while preparing for Burn The Floor.
