Looks like Aljaz and Janette are going to be busy!

The presenter, 38, and her husband, 32, tied the knot in July 2017 and appeared alongside one another in the BBC show for eight years.

They first met in 2010 when Janette flew to London to perform alongside Aljaz in Burn The Floor.

There was an instant attraction, with Janette saying her now-husband looked like Prince Charming, while Aljaz joked he was ready to propose after just five hours.

The couple got married in 2017

Janette credited Strictly for helping them build a relationship, as the couple both lived in previous countries in the past.

She explained: "Strictly was a blessing, we were able to stay together. Because I was living in LA at the time, and he was obviously still in Slovenia and the show was about to end, and we were both like, 'Okay now what?'

"When we both got Strictly, that's when we were like, 'Oh my god, it worked!'"
