Strictly’s Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec confirm plans for more children

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 and Aljaž married in July 2017 after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing. They welcomed their baby daughter, Lyra, in 2023.

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.
