Janette Manrara has shared how she was left with tears in her eyes after looking back on an adorable moment she shared with her husband Aljaž Škorjanec before they became parents. The former Strictly Come Dancing stars are counting down the days until the arrival of their first child.
The loved-up pair previously told how they were due to welcome their first bundle of joy this summer after sharing the joyful news back in February that they were pregnant. Aljaz and Janette, who were both professional dancers on the BBC One dance show, were just about to start IVF treatment when they found out Janette was pregnant.
Since sharing their happy news, Janette, who has since gone on to host Strictly's spin-off show It Takes Two, has been keeping her fans and followers updated with her first pregnancy.

But kicking off the week, the former dancer took to Instagram to share a simple yet moving moment she shared withAljaž as they eagerly await the arrival of their baby, who they are yet to confirm will be a boy or a girl or if they have found out the gender themselves.
Posting a picture of her husband snuggling up to her bare, blossoming baby bump as they laid in bed, Janette wrote to her 532K followers: "I took this photo this morning while we were having morning cuddles in bed and I got tears in my eyes looking back at it now."
She added of Aljaž, who she married in 2017: "He is going to be such an amazing father. He’s been so incredible through this whole pregnancy and seeing him cuddle our little baby that we’ll soon meet makes my heart sing! Not long now Bučko… We’re mami and ati soon."
Gemma Atkinson, who is also pregnant and expecting her second child any day now, was among the first to respond to her Strictly pals, simply posting faces holding back tears emojis and red hearts in the comment section. Meanwhile, fans were quick to gush over the adorable moment between the pair.

"He wants to be a co-parent 100% and we'll be a real team," she added.
