Janette Manrara had husband Aljaz Skorjanec on babysitting duties on Wednesday night as the It Takes Two presenter headed to Best Magazine's Heroes Awards alongside co-star Nadiya Bychkova.

The professional dancer shared several snaps from her night out, including a selfie with Nadiya and makeup artist Summer Dyason and an elegant photo of herself showcasing her figure-flattering pink dress. The off-the-shoulder item was cinched in at the waist highlighting her hourglass physique while the ruched detailling made her look so glamorous.

A third added: "Beautiful ladies," while Nikita Kanda, who was recently eliminated from Strictly posted a string of heart emojis.

The night will have taken Janette away from her baby daughter, Lyra, but she was in good hands as the dancer's husband, Aljaz will have been on daddy day care, something he is thrilled about.

Janette looked so glam in her dress

In an exclusive interview with HELLO! about Janette being a working mum, the Slovenian-born dancer said: "I can't wait to do daddy daycare – it's my favourite job ever. I have waited to be a dad for so long and I feel very lucky to be able to spend so much time with my daughter."

Janette still spends plenty of time with her baby girl and earlier in the week, she melted hearts with a stunning clip of Lyra relaxing in her nursery while being gently rocked. Lyra was covered up in a beautiful blanket and had her pacifier in her mouth as her mum cooed over her in the heart-melting clip. The video also gave fans a rare glimpse into Lyra's nursery and it was stocked to perfection for her.
