Strictly pro-dancer Aljaž headed to Instagram last night to share the adorable video with his 528,000 followers.

In the short video, Aljaž can be seen bouncing his baby niece, Tisa, who’s ten months old. Tisa is being bounced by Aljaž whilst he dances with his other niece, Zala, three.

He captioned the post simply with: “Uncle duties resume.”

Zala and Tisa are Aljaž’s sister’s children. Aljaž and Tisa only met for the first time the other day, as the Strictly dancer hadn’t been home for two years due to COVID-19.

Aljaž’s wife, Janette Manrara, who hosts It Takes Two, filmed Aljaž’s emotional reunion with his family in the airport when they arrived in Slovenia.
