Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara revealed to fans she will be leaving the show to host It Takes Two – leading certain fans to speculate over whether she could be pregnant.
Last night on The One Show, Janette revealed that she will be taking over from Zoe Ball on the Strictly spin-off.
After the news broke, fans began posting their theories, with one picking flaws in the timeline of events, saying: “Hear my theory, OK.
“Janette was announced as coming back as a pro them Zoe left and now she’s doing ITT instead…”
“How long until we find out Janette is pregnant? Happy that she’s the new It Takes Two host,” wrote a second.
Another fan said: “Janette hasn’t said she’s leaving as a pro so there must be a reason she isn’t dancing and is doing ITT instead? Omg if she’s pregnant I’m gonna cry with happiness.”
Janette spoke on The One Show about her new job, describing how she’s feeling about her departure from Strictly.
She said: “I will not be dancing. I don’t want to well up because I have been welling up a lot today, but that has been the hardest part of accepting this amazing honour to join It Takes Two.
“It’s the realisation that I will not be on that legendary Strictly dancefloor anymore. But I feel that this is most beautiful and natural progression.”
Janette and her partner Aljaž Škorjanec have been married for four years now and have openly spoken of their future plans to have a baby.
After a year in lockdown, Janette discussed her plans to conceive a child, pointing out her physically demanding job made it a challenge.
She said: “As a woman who’s a dancer, my body is my job so it’s scary to make that decision about the perfect time to start a family.

“I always thought there would be a perfect month and year, but what 2020 has made me realise is that perfect time is never going to come along.”
There is no evidence to prove whether fans’ baby speculation has any credibility.
Janette’s friend and Strictly colleague Katya Jones spoke about her feelings on Janette leaving the show.
Katya said: “Me and Janette are one of the closest friends and when I found out yesterday, literally just before The One Show. Literally tears came to my eyes because I know how much she deserves it, she’s worked really, really hard towards this.”
