Aljaz Skorjanec and his wife Janette Manrara may have hung up their dancing shoes but their little girl, Lyra Rose, who they welcomed in July, looks set to follow in their footsteps!
In a sweet photo shared his Instagram Stories, the doting dad, who recently shared that he loves running his "daddy daycare", taking care of his daughter while Janette works, gave the cutest glimpse into his behind-the-scenes family life.
The former Strictly pro dancer uploaded an image of himself holding up the tiny tot, who held her foot out towards the camera and appeared to be flexing her toes a little.
Aljaz and Lyra both gazed at the camera with intent expressions, and the star captioned the image: "Toes out kind a day…" Delighted by the picture, one of his followers sweetly commented: "Gorgeous baby for very special parents! So happy for you!"
Others added: "Dancing feet," "And point your toes [laughing emoji, heart emoji]," and: "Dancer's feet!" A fifth chimed in: "She looks so much like you @aljazskorjanec… gorgeous little bubba x." The adorable father-daughter moment came just a day after Aljaz delighted his followers on Tuesday with another gorgeous photo of his newborn.

A smiling Aljaz, meanwhile, was keeping warm in a black jumper as he shared the adorable moment. In the most touching caption, he quipped: "Not gonna move unless absolutely necessary." Aww!

Just like her famous father, who wore a neutral jumper, the tot looked adorable wrapped in a cream blanket and a warm hat. Aljaz was gazing down at his daughter with a loving expression, while his own lunch of soup and crunchy bread sat waiting for him on the table.

A third commented: "Awwww you're such an amazing daddy," and a fourth remarked: "Beautiful picture of a very proud daddy with his gorgeous baby daughter." Speaking to HELLO! about looking after Lyra, he explained: "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."
