Strictly star Janette Manrara looked picture-perfect on Saturday as she stepped out for a glitzy evening with her husband, Aljaz Skorjanec.

The presenter – who is pregnant with her first child – stole the limelight in a bump-skimming sherbet pink strapless dress featuring a giant bow attached to the front. Embracing the Barbie-core trend, Janette completed her get-up with a pair of pointed pink heels and a sparkling, silver clutch.

She styled her freshly trimmed tresses into a sleek hairdo and completed her glitzy appearance with a touch of glamorous makeup. In a slew of pictures shared to Instagram, Janette was also photographed posing alongside her husband, Aljaz.

In a major fashion first, Aljaz eschewed his typically dapper suits for a traditional Scottish kilt crafted from blue and green tartan. The couple looked seriously loved-up as they posed for a romantic photograph in Inverness ahead of their all-important judging duties.

It's been an exciting time for the couple who are due to welcome their bundle of joy later this year. In a recent interview with BBC's Alex Jones, Janette gushed: "I feel good. We are very, very lucky, very blessed to have a great pregnancy, the baby is doing really well, so yes we are happy, so, so happy."

She went on to say: "I have to give Aljaz massive massive kudos because he has been the most incredible husband and partner through this whole pregnancy. He's brilliant. He's going to be a super dad! He can't wait!"

The parents-to-be, who recently relocated to Cheshire, announced their baby news back in February. Speaking exclusively to HELLO!, Aljaz sweetly recalled the rollercoaster of emotions he experienced upon discovering news of his wife's pregnancy.

He 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."
