Aljaz Skorjanec and wife Janette Manrara have got to be one of the sweetest couples on TV.
The lovely Janette – who appears on Celebrity Mastermind tonight – has the rare distinction of being both a star pro dancer and a presenter within the Strictly Come Dancing world.
Janette, 38, married her husband in 2017 following their engagement two years earlier.
She has previously opened up about the overwhelming emotion she felt when Aljaz got down on one knee… and how she momentarily doubted it was really happening!

However, he tried to ensure it would be a surprise when he presented her with a ring by making out they were there for a different reason.
Aljaz revealed: “I told Janette we were going to a promotional event for my friend and that there might be press, so to look nice.”
‘Tears of joy’
Aljaz’s set up almost worked too well… as Janette seemed unsure whether he was asking her to get hitched or not!
She explained during the chat: “I was about to start crying and then I thought, what if he’s just tying his shoes?”
