Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two co-host Janette Manrara has shared an emotional clip with fans in what she has described as a “full circle moment”.
The 40-year-old is currently hosting the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour which kicked off in Birmingham earlier this week.
The likes of glitterball winners Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola as well as finalists Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell are among the celebrities and professional dancers taking part in the 2024 UK tour this year, stopping off at Newcastle, Sheffield and more.
But in a new video posted on Instagram to her 600,000 followers, Janette revealed a “beautiful moment” with her daughter Lyra along with her husband and former Strictly professional Aljaž Škorjanec.
The caption said: “Such a beautiful moment having Lyra and @aljazskorjanec come to visit and get on stage w/ me.
“I was pregnant w/ her all of the @strictlycomedancinglive last year, so it was quite a full circle moment to have her on stage.
“I miss them both, but so thrilled to show her one day how much mami loved doing what she did and how wonderful it is to bring so much joy to those who come watch. Feeling very blessed.”
