BBC Strictly's Janette and Aljaz flooded with support as they issue 'exciting' joint news
Strictly Come Dancing's Janette Manrara has sent fans wild after she shared her excitement news with her husband Aljaz Skorjanec.
Beloved ballroom dancer Aljaz made a triumphant return to the BBC ballroom in the 2024 season after a two-year hiatus, partnering with ex-Love Island star Tasha Ghouri as they soared through to the grand final.
On Saturday night (December 14), Tasha and Aljaz were joint leaders on the leaderboard alongside JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, after all four finalists performed three dances each.
Despite their near-perfect score of 119 out of a possible 120, they were pipped to the post by comedian Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell who lifted the Glitterball trophy due at the end of the show.

"What a comeback year! You worked incredibly hard, spent time away from home and our little family, pushed through missing Lyra as much as you did, and did it all with class and grace making your wife and daughter and yourself very proud.
"You were AMAZING last night and every single week. I am so very happy for you, as are your family, friends and team. Now.... Let's go home and cuddle. I've missed you, and I love you."
