Strictly Come Dancing stars Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec have confirmed they're hoping to have more children.
The couple, who welcomed their first child in July this year, opened up about parenthood in a new interview with Prima Magazine and said they would "love" to give their baby girl a sibling.
"Who knows what will happen next year? We’d love for Lyra to have a brother or sister," said Janette.

While Aljaž weighed in by saying he "prays" for it and "hopefully it will happen," he also remains cautious given their long journey with IVF to become pregnant with Lyra.
"We obviously want more children, but after the process we went through to have Lyra, you quickly learn there are never any guarantees in life," he said.
Janette recently opened up about motherhood during an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, saying: "I think we really lucked out because [Lyra] sleeps alright, she doesn’t cry a lot and she’s just happy, she smiles all the time."

The It Takes Two host also said that seeing Aljaž as a dad has strengthened their relationship.
"I was already in love with him before but to see him now. He’s such a good father to Lyra. It changes everything and takes our relationship to the next level," she told us.
"He’s doing daddy daycare at the moment whilst I’m down in London filming It Takes Two. So there’s lots of FaceTimes and lots of videos going forward to see how she’s doing."
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
Tickets for Strictly's 2024 live arena tour are available now.
