When Janette marked her 40th birthday, the professional dancer shared a number of beautiful snaps from her lavish celebrations where she and her closest friends and family lived it up at the Ned, an exclusive hotel and members club where they enjoyed a lavish meal.

Despite the glamour of her big day, little Lyra is the one who truly stole the show as she beamed in a series of photos and videos with her parents.

"Wish I had my family from Miami there w/ me as well, but feeling grateful for all of life's blessings. A day I will cherish forever. Thank you to @thenedlondon and @nathhunterpope for organising it fabulously, and to everyone who came to celebrate 40 w/ me."
