Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara had pals from the BBC show feeling emotional with a video that she shared this weekend after being seen in tears herself just last week
Professional dancer Janette Manrara had pals from Strictly Come Dancing emotional with a video that she shared this weekend. It was part of an update from the It Takes Two host after she was seen in tears herself just last week.
Janette, 41, was upset earlier this month over being away from her daughter Lyra, one, whilst in a touring production of the musical Chicago. Last week, she shared that she had said goodbye to her husband Aljaž Škorjanec, 35, and their daughter ahead of being away from them for two weeks.
Amid being separated whilst she performed on tour in Ireland, Janette had counted down the days to her reunion with Aljaž and Lyra. She wrote last week: "Missing my loves so much." She has now reunited with her family and shared footage from the meeting on Instagram this afternoon.
The video showed Aljaž holding Lyra whilst stood at the front door of a property waiting for Janette to enter. The toddler was seen smiling and giggling as she saw her mother, with Aljaž teasing to her at one point: "Who is it?"
Moments after she saw Janette, Lyra requested a hug from her mother, saying "Come! Come! Come!" Janette was then seen hugging and kissing her daughter as they reunited in the hallway after being apart for two weeks.
Alongside the footage, Janette wrote in the caption that accompanied it: "My heart could not be more full. Back together w/ @aljazskorjanec and my little Lyra." She also included a white heart emoji in the post on the platform.
The video was met with reaction from some of her pals from Strictly. Amy Dowden wrote: "Well this made my cry." Gorka Márquez shared a tearful emoji and another of heart eyes. Whilst fellow pro Luba Mushtuk reacted with red heart emojis in the comments section earlier today.
A host of former contestants also reacted, including former winner Ore Oduba, who shared teary-eyed emojis. Ashley Roberts wrote "my heart" beside a red heart emoji and another that had tears in its eyes. Catherine Tyldesley said: "My heart. She will be so proud of her momma. You got this."
Fans shared that they were also feeling emotional, with one person writing: "Beautiful - what a lovely welcome home. Had me in tears." Another said: "This was so beautiful [it] made me cry." A third reacted: "Oh this made my cry too."
