Strictly's Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec shout out Gemma Atkinson for support as they prepare to welcome first child

Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec have given Gemma Atkinson a special shoutout as they appear to have leaned on her for support and advice as they prepare to welcome their first child.

The former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers announced the joyous news they were expecting back in February with their bundle of joy due this summer. Aljaz and Janette, who has since gone on to host the spin-off of the 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 earlier this year alongside a picture from their Hello! magazine shoot confirming their happy news as the congratulatory messages came flooding in.
