Pregnant Janette Manrara shows blossoming bump after sweet 'mums night' with Gemma Atkinson and Helen Skelton

Janette Manrara looked blooming beautiful as she hit the red carpet alongside her husband Aljaž Škorjanec. The former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers were all smiles as they attended the Pride of Manchester on Wednesday night (May 10) alongside a whole host of other stars and local heroes at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel.

Janette was seen posing in front of the rows of cameras as she dazzled in a pale pink off-the-shoulder number that brushed over her blossoming bump and slit above the knee to show off her tanned legs. She added a pair of nude heels to her feet and gripped onto a clutch bag as she made her entrance.

Aljaž, meanwhile, was a doting husband and looked nothing short of a happy dad-to-be as he joined his wife in an all-black ensemble. It comes as the pair, who recently moved to Cheshire from London, are preparing for life as first-time parents.

The evening before heading out to the Pride Of Manchester, Janette joined Strictly alumni Helen Skelton and Gemma Atkinson. The trio were out, alongside Gemma's three-year-old daughter Mia, to watch the Strictly Come Dancing Professionals tour at The Lowry.

Gemma, 38, and Mia were in the audience to cheer on Gorka Marquez, who was also partnered and made it to the final of Strictly last year with Helen. Posting a picture of the group to Instagram, Janette shared her gratitude to having friends who have already become mums.

"Watched the @strictlycomedancinglive #ProTour last night in Manchester, and got the chance to enjoy it with these legendary women," Janette typed alongside the smiling snap. "So beautiful to see how excited Mia gets every time @gorka_marquez was on stage! My heart was melting.

"Also, if you have mates like @glouiseatkinson and @helenskelton by your side when you’re becoming a first time mum, you feel like you can take on the world! Such amazing mums and women! So great to see all 3 of them."

Gorka, 32, was quick to respond in the comments, writing: "So nice to see u!!!" And fans were also flooding the comments section with joy at seeing the trio.
