Pregnant Janette Manrara looked glowing as she enjoyed a baby moon in Slovenia on Tuesday evening.
The It Takes Two host, 39, who is expecting her first child with Strictly pro husband Aljaž Škorjanec, donned a cream knitted dress as she cradled her growing bump.
She looked into the distance as she stood in the scenic surroundings, also adding a pair of leggings to her ensemble.
Janette, who announced she was pregnant in February, wore her raven tresses in a loose straightened style for the Instagram snap.
The star captioned her post: ‘The best few days to rest and reset before coming back home to wait for the arrival of our little one.

‘Our trip in Slovenia is not over yet, but this is our last night here in @chocolate_village_by_the_river and I am embracing every second of it one last time, until we come back again soon when it’s 3 of us.
‘Thank you for giving us serenity, peace, and beautiful views to unwind. And thank you to everyone here at that looked after us so well. We have absolutely loved it.’
Janette and her husband of six years Aljaž revealed their happy baby news on Instagram in February.
Janette captioned an official photo from a Hello! spread writing: ‘We’re so happy to share our special news!’
Detailing her pregnancy in an accompanying interview, the Cuban-American choreographer admitted she had struggled to conceive for more than two years, prompting fears that it might never happen.
‘For the past couple of years we hadn’t been using protection but nothing was happening, so we thought IVF was the next best thing for us to do,’ she explained.
‘I turn 40 later this year and the NHS offers really good services to women under 40. The doctor said that as soon as I got my period we would start injections, but my period never came.’
‘I know that IVF can be really strenuous on a woman’s body and there is no guarantee it will work, so to know that this little miracle just came from a wonderful night we had together is amazing.
‘I think the baby decided to make Mum and Dad panic a bit before saying, “ok, fine, I’m coming up now.”‘
Janette explained how she told Aljaž she was pregnant by handing him a positive pregnancy test and that they ‘cried and hugged; it was quite a moment’.

Aljaž added that he was ‘beside myself’ and hoped the baby would look more like Janette than him.
It comes after Janette admitted on BBC Morning Live in 2021 that it was a ‘scary decision’ to make because as a dancer, her body is her ‘tool’.
The ballroom champion said the coronavirus crisis made her realise there will never be a ‘perfect’ time to get pregnant and the couple are now looking forward to becoming parents.
