Strictly’s Janette Manrara and Aljax share ‘sad’ update as they vow ‘we’ll be back’

Strictly Come Dancing stars Janette Manrara and Aljaz have said they were gutted to have missed Caroline Flack’s tribute festival.

Janette revealed they had to skip the huge event paying tribute to the late former Love Island host because they are preparing to give birth to their first baby.

The festival in Berkshire has taken place for the second year running and is held in memory of Caroline, who tragically took her own life in February 2020.

Speaking about the festival on social media, Janette said: “Today is Flackstock and Aljaz and I are not able to make it and be there this year.

“Because I am creating our little human. We are so sad. But we send everyone attending – and the whole team – so much love for this very special event.

“We will be back next year as a trio. Hope that everyone has the most beautiful day in celebration of one of the most beautiful girls.”
