STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Janette Manrara cradled her blossoming baby bump as she enjoyed a gentle workout.
Wearing a black crop top and matching shorts, she showed off her dancing skills as she stretched.

The mum-to-be enjoyed some soft movement on a yoga mat as she used resistance bands to flex her muscles.
She shared a snap from her exercise session, where she held her bump.
Janette captioned the photo: “Just a quick appreciation post. We feel so much love from you all. Thank you for all the kind messages and support.
“We are growing happy and healthy together. I don’t take for granted how fortunate I am, and count my blessings everyday for this little miracle.”
The photo was taken the same day as her gentle workout, where she spoke openly about how she had been struggling fitting in time to exercise.
“It’s been a minute since I worked out (3 weeks to be honest), but with moving house, work, and travel all while being pregnant, it’s been tough. But instead of getting angry w/ myself, I accepted life gets complicated and you’ve got to listen to your mind and body.
Sharing the update with fans, she wrote: “This morning, I decided to enjoy my morning (while I can) and do a workout right at home, w/ lots of breathing and stretching just to get my body moving again, and I feel great!
“It’s not as hard or physical as I’m use to, but I do get tired faster so taking breaks in between as and when I need them, and doing movement that I know won’t hurt me or the baby is crucial.”
The 39-year-old dancer and husband Aljaz Skorjanec, 33, shared the news that they were expecting earlier this month.
“The baby bump is literally getting bigger by the day now! The two of us moving together this morning was so lovely! I really want to teach them the importance of physical activity not just for your physical health, but how good it is for our mental health as well,” she added.
During an appearance on Lorraine, the It Takes Two presenter Janette joked Aljaz was struggling with pregnancy side effects more than she is.
She said: “He’s actually been sick more than I have, we really are pregnant together.
“I’m feeling good, I’ve been so lucky with this pregnancy that it’s been so good, we’ve just been to the doctor and everything is all good.”
Speaking on the show, Janette said: “The only people we told at first was our family and that was on Christmas Day, we had to.
“I did the Strictly Live Tour, that was tough to keep in because obviously we’re on stage and we’re out all the time, so I wore this big yellow dress to try and keep it in but people were suspicious, they kept asking why I wasn’t having a glass of wine.”
Dad-to-be Aljaz is swotting up so he can be the best parent possible. He said: “It’s been a really interesting process so far, I’m just amazed by it so far and you want to do so much research on everything and am so excited.”
