Strictly star Janette Manrara hints baby could arrive very soon as she shares update

Strictly Come Dancing's Janette Manrara has hinted that her baby could arrive any minute as she filmed herself packing her hospital bag for the tot's upcoming birth.

The soon to be mum took to her Instagram stories to share a clip, where she spoke to the camera saying that she had been packing her hospital bag.

She said she had a bad night's sleep but it was time to make sure she had everything ready for when she went into labour.

Janette said: "Today is hospital bag day. It's time to pack it. Let me show you what I put in there and if you have any other suggestions of what else I can put in here let me know, but I think I've got it covered."

She then added: "First are foremost, can we just appreciate how nice this bag is? I mean, I love a compartment and it's got loads of them. It's such a nice bag.

"I feel like I need to get used to it because I'm going to be travelling a lot with this bag, I reckon over the next few months, right? It comes with these epic extra packing bits to kind of compartmentalise your stuff."

The 39-year-old told her followers that she was packing eye masks and underwear, toiletries, a portable fan and speakers for the hospital.

Back in February Janette and her husband Aljaž Skorjanec announced that they were expecting their first child together.

Since then Janette has been keeping her followers updated with how the pregnancy has been going for her.

The couple have opened up about how they were looking to go down the IVF route in order to conceive but, when the process started they found that Janette was already pregnant.

Appearing on Lorraine, Janette joked that Aljaž was struggling with pregnancy side effects more than she was. She said: "He's actually been sick more than I have, we really are pregnant together. I’m feeling good, I’ve been so lucky with this pregnancy that it’s been so good, we’ve just been to the doctor and everything is all good.

"The only people we told at first was our family and that was on Christmas Day, we had to.

"I did the Strictly Live Tour, that was tough to keep in because obviously we’re on stage and we’re out all the time, so I wore this big yellow dress to try and keep it in but people were suspicious, they kept asking why I wasn't having a glass of wine."
