Former Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara, 37, has shared the moment she knew that Aljaz Skorjanec, 31, was “the one”, detailing what happened in their new podcast Twist and Shout. Looking back at the start of their relationship, the dancer revealed that she and Aljaz got together while consoling a mutual friend over his recent heartbreak.

I think that was the moment that the pin dropped

In their introductory episode, the duo explained that the catalyst for Janette’s revelation was caused by a pal’s breakup.

After Aljaz suggested that they should take their friend out to dinner and drinks as a way of consoling him, he said it was the only way he could think of to spend time with Janette.

Revealing that he had run out of ways to ask Janette out, Aljaz managed to convince the It Takes Two host that they both needed to be there.

“That was the last idea I had of how to convince you to come out for a drink or some food,” he explained.

“I think someone’s heartbreak, especially if it’s your friend – I know you should never really use that for any other gain, but I saw the opportunity and I ran with it,” Aljaz added.

“It was very creative!” added Janette laughing.

Aljaz replied: “We both [went] out with him to make sure that he had some fun and [make sure] he wasn’t too sad and that was it.”

“That was the night,” confirmed Janette.

“Because that was the first night that we weren’t out with [all our] friends and we did really sit down with him and talk about love and relationships and how hard it is to be away from families,” she continued.

“And how we’ve got to be each other’s family when we’re on tour and look after each other and support each other.”

Cutting herself off, Janette admitted: “I’m going to get a bit mushy now.

“That was the moment that I realised, you know what, he [Aljaz] is such a beautiful soul, you had such beautiful things to say about life and love and marriage even, and family.

“I think that was the moment that the pin dropped,” she explained.

“I went wow, there’s so much more to this guy than just a gorgeous face, I don’t think people realise how much more beautiful you are inside than outside,” she gushed to her beau.

Aljaz replied: “So you basically knew all this time that I had a face for radio?”

“Yes!” laughed Janette.

Janette previously revealed that she and Aljaz first met in a dance studio in London 11 years ago.

After dating for five years, the duo became engaged after Aljaz popped the question in the same studio they first met in.

In July 2017 the Strictly couple tied the knot, celebrating their nuptials with three extravagant ceremonies.

Celebrating their third wedding anniversary last year, Janette penned a sweet tribute to her husband on social media.

She wrote: “Happy anniversary, three weddings and now three years! As they always say, 3rd’s a charm!(sic)

“We’ve been together through thick and thin and you’ve kept your vows and taken me to @waltdisneyworld every year!” added Janette before thanking her spouse for loving her.
