Strictly Come Dancing star Aljaž Škorjanec has made an emotional admission about his wife Janette Manrara's pregnancy as they prepare to become first-time parents. The dancing couple announced the joyous news they were expecting back in February with their bundle of joy due this summer.
Aljaz and Janette, who were both professional dancers on the hit BBC One show, were just about to start IVF treatment when they found out Janette was pregnant. "We’re so happy to share our special news!" the pair wrote on Instagram alongside a picture from their Hello! magazine shoot confirming their happy news as the congratulatory messages came flooding in.
Now, in a new interview with OK! magazine, Aljaz has made a tearful confession about Janette’s pregnancy. "It’s hard mentally, it’s hard physically. It’s a big test," he told the publication.
"The struggles some people go through to fall pregnant – I’m just amazed by women."

He added: "I've found a complete new respect for my beautiful little Janette, who I love more than anything. It’s a little miracle how we got here,” he then continued.
Aljaz then spoke about how the pregnancy is an emotional rollercoaster for him as well as for his wife. "I’m pregnant with her – I cry pretty much every single day! I just watched a couple of videos from Britain’s Got Talent and I was sobbing," he shared.
It comes as Janette has been sharing snaps from the couple's "babymoon" after they surprise Aljaz's mum back in Slovenia. The loved-up pair managed to grab some time away to both relax and work as they took in the incredible scenery at Lake Bled.
Janette, 39 shared a snap of herself cradling her blossoming baby bump while looking out of the window while another picture showed the beautiful place she and Aljaz stayed, complete with a swimming pool and rolling views of the countryside. "Some very beautiful views and stays on our #babymoon," the mum-to-be penned.
"Cannot wait to come back and see the family and these beautiful places as a family of 3," she added in the caption of her post. And fans were quick to comment as they not only marvelled at the views but also Janette's growing bump.
BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball commented: "Oh baby you look amazing. Love to and A and baby bump x." @saltjuliette shared: "What a perfect baby moon you have both had….looks incredible. Beautiful memories before your little one arrives." @samuelskaren posted: "What a stunning place and what a gorgeous bump. Can't wait to see little one."
