Strictly Come Dancing couple Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec have admitted their finances took a hit as they suffered along with thousands of other Brits during the coronavirus lockdown this year.
Janette, 37, spoke about how her and her hubby coped when their tours and projects were cancelled as the country came to a halt.
Speaking to their friend and former Strictly star Dr Ranj on his podcast, Steths, Drugs & Rock ‘n’ Roll, Janette said: “Financially it was tough, we did lose three tours this year.”
Despite her money worries, Strictly pro Janette said she tried to stay positive and enjoyed being able to spend more time with her hubby.

She continued: “I think emotionally and psychologically and physically for the two of us to have all this time at home, which was never possible because of the schedule we have, has been actually really, really, nice.”
“We’ve learned to live in our own home, which we never felt before. Now our living room actually feels like our living room.

“I was never friends with the kitchen before and Aljaz has loved just taking time to himself, he hasn’t been online much… he has taken time to chill out. It’s been amazing.”
Despite spending time together in the lockdown, the couple have been forced apart ahead of and during filming for this year’s Strictly.
This is the first time that the pair, who married in 2017, have been forced to live apart in over a decade as they moved into bubbles with their dance partners for the show.
Janette is currently partnered with YouTuber HRVY on the show, while Aljaz left the show last week as partner Clara Amfo was eliminated.
