Former Strictly Come Dancing stars Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara have shared sweet tributes to each other on their sixth wedding anniversary.

The pair, who have both departed the BBC show in recent years, tied the knot in 2017, and shared posts on their Instagram accounts to mark the occasion.

“Happy sixth (I think) wedding anniversary Bučka💍” wrote Aljaž, who left the show last year. “You are definitely in my top three favourite people (right now).” The post was accompanied with a photo of the pair basking in the sunshine.

“Happy 6th wedding anniversary Bučko 🥂” wrote Janette, who now hosts sister-show It Takes Two. “Last one just us two. To many more years of adventures, love, and laughter together. I love you w/ all my heart and feel so lucky that our little one and myself get to have you forever.”

The photo in Janette’s post showcased her baby bump, with the pair expecting their first child later this year. The professional dancer recently provided an update regarding her pregnancy, saying: “We are good. We actually had a visit from the midwife today, and heart rate is good, baby's good.

“Everything came back normal, but I did have a good night's sleep and then only woke up like twice really to get up and move around and stretch in with back pain. But then this morning, after just like an hour or two of being up, [the pain] kicked off again so bad,” she continued.

“So I am in bed with a hot water bottle, legs up, and I'll be here for most of the day. But the most important thing is that we're good and the baby is doing good. Sending you all my love on this Wednesday,” she concluded.

Janette had her baby shower earlier this month, with Strictly stars Katya Jones and Ashley Roberts being in attendance alongside Aljaž’s former dance partner, Sara Davies.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
