It's been a busy period for the It Takes Two presenter who is due to welcome her first child with Aljaz later this year.

The loved-up couple went public with their pregnancy announcement back in February. They shared their joyous news exclusively with HELLO!, describing their pregnancy reveal as a "little miracle".

Opening up about their bittersweet pregnancy journey, Aljaz said: "I was beside myself. I feel like I've been thinking and dreaming about that moment for so long. We were preparing for IVF mentally and physically and then it was just a relief to finally have that positive test.

"I have so much respect for any parent that goes through IVF, not just for what it puts them through physically but mentally too."

The loved-up couple first crossed paths when they took part in Burn The Floor – a high-voltage thrilling live dance performance that has toured the globe since 1997.

They later reunited on the set of Strictly Come Dancing before embarking on a whirlwind romance. In 2017, the smitten couple tied the knot, hosting three wildly different wedding ceremonies in London, Slovenia and Miami.

Speaking of her first wedding, Janette told HELLO!: "The day we got married was in London, 15 July. That was in London at Chelsea town hall. 

"My parents and brother and sister and Aljaž's parents, his sister and her husband, and just our closest friends were all there. So that moment was 'the moment' when we signed the papers, marriage certificate."
