Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara has spilled the beans on not backing hubby Aljaz Skorjanec this season, due to her impartial role as host of It Takes Two.
Appearing on The One Show with Fleur East, Janette was probed by presenters Alex Scott and Roman Kemp about Aljaz’s comeback. Roman cheekily asked: “Janette, I know someone you’ll be cheering on. Aljaz, of course. Is it nice to see him back out there?”
Janette dropped a bombshell saying: “It is incredible to see him back on the show, but I’ll be honest, I am not allowed favourites as host of It Takes Two, so I’m going to be looking at him the same way as I look any other professional and celebrity on the show.”
She then gushed over their daughter, adding: “It is nice to have him on the telly.”

I had tears in my eyes because it was just so special to sit with our daughter, watching Daddy on the telly doing what he loves to do. It was amazing.”
The chat soon swerved towards the much-anticipated 20th-anniversary celebrations of Strictly, reports the Mirror, leading Alex Jones to probe: “Strictly, though it’s a special year, the 20th anniversary. What’s going to be happening? What’s the special surprises in store?”

With a twinkle in her eye, Janette hinted at what’s to come: “Alex, you know, it’s a big year. There’s gonna be some surprises, there’s gonna be a couple of new twists and turns, like you said in your lovely intro, happening for the 20th anniversary.”
And with a sly smile, Janette added: “I think watch this space. There’s definitely gonna be some new stuff.”
Janette Manrara may not be rooting for her husband, Aljaz Skorjanec, on this season of Strictly Come Dancing, but that doesn’t mean she’s not proud of him.
In a recent interview, Janette opened up about the challenges of staying impartial as the host of It Takes Two, even when it comes to her own husband.
While discussing Aljaz’s return to the show on The One Show, Janette admitted that she has to treat him like any other professional dancer.
She explained that she is not allowed to have favorites and must remain neutral in her role on the show. Despite this, Janette couldn’t help but gush about how special it was to watch Aljaz perform with their daughter, Lyra, by their side.
As the conversation turned to the upcoming 20th-anniversary celebrations of Strictly Come Dancing, Janette teased some exciting surprises in store.
She hinted at new twists and turns for the milestone season, promising viewers that there is “definitely gonna be some new stuff” to look forward to.
