New mum Janette Manrara divides fans as she returns to work a month after giving birth

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Janette Manrara has said it was 'so special' as she returned to work for the first time since becoming a mum. The dancer-turned-presenter has returned to the helm of Morning Live on BBC One while also starting some work on the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing's spin-off It Takes Two.

The dance contest's former professional dancer took to Instagram with a picture of the moment her husband Aljaz tuned in to Morning Live with their baby girl in his arms as well as tow other special viewers - their nieces who are Aljaz's sister's children as she recently made the trip from Slovenia with her family so they could meet little Lyra Rose.

Janette, 39, and Aljaz, 33, announced they were expecting a baby back in February and took fans along with them on their pregnancy journey, which came as a delightful surprise after they planned to start IVF treatment before Janette fell pregnant.

But after recovering from her C-section and spending precious time soaking up her baby bubble, Janette is preparing for a busy end to the year with her commitments to Morning Live, It Takes Two and her next Christmas tour with her fellow dancer hubby.
