Janette Manrara’s tears over Aljaz Skorjanec’s return to Strictly following ‘big, tough family decision’

He's back for 2024 partnered with Tasha Ghouri

Strictly star Janette Manrara has revealed she was left in tears after husband Aljaz Skorjanec was asked to return to the BBC dance show.

Aljaz signed off the show at the end of the 2021 series. Wife Janette, who hosts It Takes Two, stepped down as a pro the previous year.

They then went on to welcome daughter Lyra, with Aljaz taking on the role of a house husband, while Janette hosted the BBC Two spin-off series.
