Janette & Aljaz -  ‘We Want A Beautiful Family Together!'

The Strictly curse may have hit one married pro-dancer couple this year, but there’s no chance of that happening to Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara – two of Strictly’s most-loved professional dancers. The pair got married in July 2017, after they met while touring with Burn The Floor, and are about to head off on tour next year with their new show Remembering The Movies. As we sit down and chat to the couple, Aljaž, 28, has just finished rehearsals with his celebrity dance partner Kate Silverton, and Janette, 34, has missed a day of rehearsing with Dr Ranj, as he’s trying to fit in dancing with his hospital work. Here, they tell us about their life together off camera, and why they can’t wait to have a family.

Hi, both of you! How’s training going?

Aljaž: So far, so good.

Kate has been taking in dancing really well. She’s loving it, she’s enjoying it more and more, and falling in love with dancing.

Janette: Everyone learns so differently, but Ranj is very hard-working. He’s really good at pushing through and making sure he knows the information, so for me he’s kind of a dream student.

How competitive does it get between you two?
