The couple have been touring the country with their own show, but Janette shared a big update with fans

Janette Manrara has been flooded with messages of love and support after she shared that she and her husband, Aljaz Skorjanec, had toured together for the last time 'for a while', with the comment coming after his return to Strictly Come Dancing for 2026 was confirmed.

Fans will be aware that the couple have been in a relationship for more than a decade, having met at the London studios Dance Attic in 2010. Their relationship blossomed as they starred in the hit live dance show, Burn the Floor, before their romance turned long-distance, with Aljaž based back home in Slovenia and Janette in LA. But in 2013, they were reunited in London when they bagged sports as professional dancers on Strictly.

Two years later, Aljaz popped the question, getting down on one knee at the dance studios where they first met. Their wedding came two years later in 2017, with their Strictly co-stars among the guests at the London ceremony, and in 2023, they welcomed their daughter, Lyra, into the world.

And one thing that hasn't changed in that time is Janette and Aljaz dancing together, with the pair having recently headed out on the road again with their new show, Let's Face The Music...and Dance! , which comes after their A Night To Remember show earlier last year. The tour was described as 'an evocative tribute honouring the composers, songwriters and record producers whose artistry behind the scenes has transcended generations.

From chart-topping pop anthems to the stage and screen’s iconic scores, Aljaž and Janette will dance to the soundtrack of our lives.

' After dazzling audiences up and down the country, Janette confirmed on Wednesday that the tour was coming to a close and reflected on how she and Aljaz don't currently have plans for another performance at the moment. Alongside pictures from their time on stage and on the road, Janette said: 'Last day of the tour and feeling so many emotions.

I have loved every moment on stage with our cast and band, and sharing the love of dance and entertainment I have w/ everyone that came along to watch.

'@aljazskorjanec and I have been doing this together for a long while, but we don’t know when we’ll be on stage like this together again, so tonight will be a VERY special end of an era. THANK YOU for coming, for supporting us all these years, and for being the best audiences we could have ever dreamed of. It’s never “goodbye”, but instead 'until the next time'. In the meantime, “there is always time for one…. more… DANCE!

' And fans were quick to respond. @ilovejanettex said: 'Growing up at these shows has been the biggest privilege and I’m beyond grateful to be here tonight for the final one and to celebrate absolutely everything you have achieved over the past 10 years. Keep dancing always! I can’t wait to see what adventures come your way next and to show all the love and support possible forever.

' @tashramsay123 commented: 'Have loved coming along to support you on many tours over the years, so sad this is the end of an era but cannot wait to see what’s next for both of you. ' @annagellett gushed: 'Such a gorgeous show with such gorgeous people. ' @amanda_jayne_hill_07 added: 'You pair are special !!!! This and last year one of best shows we have seen.

Thank you so much. Hope to see you again soon. '
