Strictly Come Dancing star Aljaz Skorjanec is currently on cloud nine after welcoming his first child with wife Janette Manrara, and on Monday, the proud dad shared the sweetest update.
Taking to Instagram, Aljaz, 33, shared an adorable snapshot of baby Lyra Rose lying down on her back with her teeny feet pointing towards the camera. She was dressed in the most adorable outfit featuring a pair of tiny blush pink socks emblazoned with the words "dancing" and "feet".
In his caption, Aljaz subtly suggested that his tiny tot is soon set to be following in her parents' footsteps. "These feet ain't made for walking…" he wrote, alongside a pair of pink ballerina slippers.
Fans and friends raced to the comments section to share their thoughts, with one insisting: "Aww she's going to be a dancer like mum and dad," while a second chimed in: "Awwww in the genes [pink heart emoji] your little dancing queen."

Whilst little Lyra is years away from strutting her stuff on the dancefloor, there's every chance that Janette and Aljaz's daughter will endeavour to pursue a career as a dancer.
Janette, who is now a presenter on It Takes Two decided to pursue dancing as a career after attending Florida International University to study finance and working in a bank for seven years.

Aljaz, meanwhile, is a 19-time national Slovenian champion in Ballroom, Latin and Ten dance. Like Janette, the 33-year-old joined the Strictly line-up in 2013. After nine years on the show, however, he announced his decision to step down in pursuit of a new challenge.

Since giving birth, Janette has been incredibly open about her birthing experience. Taking to Instagram, the It Takes Two presenter posted a snapshot of herself recovering at home on the sofa.
"Fan on my stomach rash, pain in my incision, swollen breast, exhaustion, and wanting more cuddles with Lyra but have to take it slow for recovery… other than that, we’re all good," she penned in her caption.

Janette's followers were quick to send supportive messages, with one writing: "It is overwhelmingly exhausting! You are doing BRILLIANTLY!" while a second noted: "Take it nice and easy please. Enjoy the moments. You're doing an incredible job."
