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.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
