Strictly Come Dancing viewers were worried as Janette Manrara welcomed a special guest to the couch on the spin-off show It Takes Two. Former Strictly pro Janette gave a glowing introduction as she was joined on the BBC Two programme by her friend Karen Hauer.
Janette introduced her pal, the BBC contest's longest-serving professional dancer, as It Takes Two launched its Strictly Pro Challenge. The challenge invites the show's professionals to set a new Guinness World Record for the most dance steps in 30 seconds.
"First to brave the challenge is the current longest-serving Strictly professional, a world mambo champion and former pro challenge winner," Janette announced. As Karen stepped out Janette bowed and declared: "Strictly royalty right there." "I'm like a walking antiques show," Karen joked.
