Janette Manrara talks about daughter Lyra's new interest
Janette Manrara, co-host of BBC's Strictly: It Takes Two, revealed her husband Aljaz Skorjanec's biggest hobby during Saturday's episode of ITV's The Chris McCausland Show. Kicking the show off by talking about various gripes, presenter Chris McCausland asked the dancer: "Janette, what's been winding you up?"
"Well, through the years, my husband Aljaz has had a... Shall we say, hobby?" the Strictly Come Dancing star began.
Chris then pointed out that, like Janette, Aljaz also stars on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, before pressing: "What's his hobby?"
"His hobby is with this machine called a PlayStation," she continued, as Chris hastily added that "other consoles are available".
"He is obsessed with playing with this machine massive amounts of time that he has in the day," she admitted.

Janette then amusingly shared that he had introduced their 13-month-old daughter Lyra to the notoriously violent game Call of Duty.
"But the worst part of that story is that - we've got our little girl, Lyra, she's 13 months now," she said.
"He was watching after her one night, and he was like, 'Oh my gosh, baby, Lyra loves Call of Duty,'" she added, causing the studio to burst into laughter.
Call of Duty is a military-themed shooting game known for its graphic violence, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Janette exclaimed: "Call of Duty is a shooter game where they're shooting at each other and there are blood splatters everywhere!"
Chris then quipped: "By the time she's done learning her ABCs, it's going to be 'A' is for AK-47!"
Janette welcomed her baby daughter Lyra last July, having previously married husband Aljaz in 2013.
In 2021, Janette transitioned from professional dancer to presenter, with Aljaz exiting a year later. However, he is set to return to the dance floor in 2024.
Elsewhere on the show, Chris, who is joining the Strictly line-up this year, sought advice from Janette for his upcoming journey.
Janette advised that "getting as much sleep and food as possible" was crucial for maintaining peak performance.
