Strictly Come Dancing stars before marrying husband Aljaž Škorjanec.The 38-year-old dancer retired from her professional ballroom role on the show last year and instead took up a presenting gig alongside host Rylan Clark on the spin off programme It Takes Two.While her last routine on the BBC stage had been emotional, Janette had always wanted to try her hand at hosting on television.The champion dancer has also had much success when it comes to relationships while working at the broadcasting giant.Although Janette and husband Aljaž had met at a dance studio in London 2009, it is believed the pair became an item in 2011 two years before he won his first year with model Abbey Clancy.However before they were officially couple, Janette reportedly had other relations with two other co-star of the glitzy show - pro dancers - Pasha Kovalev and Artem Chigvintsev.Speaking about Janette's romance with Pasha at the time, a source told the Mirror in 2013: "She enjoyed a brief romance with Pasha. "None of the ­relationships went very far or lasted for a long time."Now they are all good friends and can laugh and joke about it, which is fortunate because they will be working very close together."Janette is obviously a very attractive woman but she’s very into Aljaz now.

BBC Breakfast was involved in a major presenting shake-up on Monday (February 14) as both its regular hosts were absent from the iconic red sofa.Permanent presenters Dan Walker and Sally Nugent - who usually host the show on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays - had been replaced by Jon Kay and Nina Warhurst.It represented a major change for viewers, as the last time both presenters were missing from the same episode was around the Christmas period - with both taking annual leave to enjoy the festive season.But both Nina and Jon proved popular with viewers, as one thrilled fan couldn't help but take to Twitter to say: "YESSSSS!!!! What a wonderful day to watch #BBCBreakfast! Two decent presenters - no need for Sky News this morning!"Another suggested: "Much better line up this morning with John and Nina. Should be Dan and Nina!"One baffled fan wrote: "Have Dan & Sally got Valentine's Day off or Jon+1 finally replaced them?"Other regular stars of the show, including weather presenter Carol Kirkwood and business correspondent Ben Boulos, made up a host of familiar faces for fans in Dan and Sally's absence.Dan's absence from the show soon made sense to fans, as he had been busy covering the US Super Bowl, which took place overnight.Though Dan wasn't presenting the show, he has been heavily involved in the run-up along with Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora - so it made sense he would be watching the game overnight, and having a well-deserved rest in the morning.And as a sports journalist, the same does make sense for Sally - though she has not yet been on social media to confirm the reason behind her absence.

STRICTLY’S Neil Jones got cosy at a hotel with fellow dancer Nancy Xu after a tour performance.  Nancy, 30, dating martial arts expert Mikee Michele, sat on Neil’s knee at a party in Glasgow. Days earlier Neil, 39, split from model Sophie Lily Kerr.

I'm rubbish."Dan interjected: "Kevin's rubbish at cooking as well right?""Kev's useless," she agreed, before adding: "It's a miracle we're still standing."Stacey added: "We just have toast."The presenter also opened up about her time working behind the scenes of her new series.Dan commented: "I'm disappointed you did a cooking show and didn't come out with a signature dish."Stacey replied: "No.

Dan Walker had been invited to go wild swimming with his Strictly Come Dancing co-stars, but had to decline - and Sara Davies wasn't accepting his excuse.The sheepish BBC Breakfast star attempted to explain away the situation on his Instagram Stories.Talking during a special Q&A session on social media, he was quizzed on whether he'd be willing to brave the water."Would you ever go wild-swimming like the Strictly tour lot?" the question read."I was going to, actually, when we were in Sheffield," Dan recalled, referencing his hometown."I was invited down by the Reverend Kate Botley and Sara - but I just couldn't get back from work in time."It looked like fun, and I'd love to have a go."However, he added of his ill-preparedness: "Appropriate footwear always essential when wild swimming, I think!"If the luxurious-looking work shoes he has posted on Instagram to show off his shoe-sock combinations are anything to go by, they would have been nowhere near casual enough for a sporty swimming trip.However, he also reposted Sara's feisty assessment of the situation, where she'd written: "Yeah we invited him and he totally flaked on us."This excuse about not getting back from work on time is total BS - he chickened out!" she added, using a chicken emoji to punctuate her point.Dan appeared to own up to his antics, adding a GIF which read: "GUILTY."However, in previous Q&A footage from yesterday, Dan took the moment to present himself as courageous.He told fans: "The best thing about being a journalist is the opportunity to be a sword for those without weapons and a shield for those who can't defend themselves."However, his job wasn't always deeply serious, as he demonstrated when he revealed one of his embarrassing moments in the

Dan Walker quit Football Focus last April after 12 years as its lead presenter.The star went on to compete in Strictly Come Dancing later that year, whilst also juggling his presenting role at BBC Breakfast and hosting The NFL Show alongside fellow former Strictly contestant, Jason Bell. Former professional American Football player Jason Bell, 43, joined Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show today to discuss the upcoming Super Bowl 56, which will take place this Sunday. The Super Bowl is the USA’s biggest sporting event of the year, featuring a playoff championship game of the National Football League (NFL). Jason was a cornerback in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and New York Giants. However, in recent years, the sports star has strapped on his dancing shoes to compete in BBC fan-favourite show Strictly. Jason competed in the series in 2020 alongside professional dance partner Luba Mushtuk, but was unfortunately second out of the competition after former Labour Party politician Jacqui Smith.Nonetheless, when quizzed by Zoe about Strictly, he gushed about his time on the show, admitting that he still likes to dance and that his young daughter is “infatuated” with it. Zoe then asked Jason if his pal Dan Walker, 44, had asked him for advice before entering the latest series of the show back in September, as the pair have both been presenting on the NFL Show together since November 2020. “He did ask me and I said, ‘Dan, you’ll be great on it,’ because I know Dan’s personality,” Jason confirmed.  “Dan is one of the best people I’ve ever met, he is just a nice human being.So I said, ‘This will be perfect for you.’“Dan steps up to challenges and that’s what you need to do when you get on Strictly.”The BBC

Dan Walker let slip that Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova had made a sweet promise to him after the show.The 44-year-old BBC Breakfast star appeared on The One Show on Thursday (February 10) to speak about his recent stint on the ballroom dancing programme.During a chat with hosts Alex Jones, 44, and Ronan Keating, 44, Dan opened up about a cute gesture that Nadiya had insisted was included in the recent Strictly tour.The duo had become incredibly popular with viewers and judges alike for their fun-loving lobster routine during their fight for the Glitterball trophy.Knowing that Dan was unable to attend the tour because of his conflicting work schedule, Nadiya promised Dan that she would honour her partner with the famous pincer move.Alex opened the discussion: "Dan, we'll have to talk Strictly first. Now Adam [Lambert - who was on screen], hopefully you saw Dan on Strictly he was fantastic."The host gushed: "His lobster dance...

Dan Walker, 44, has discussed whether he would be willing to move to London from Sheffield, where he is currently based.The BBC Breakfast presenter took to his Instagram Story today to respond to questions from some of his 270,000 followers.Asked whether he would ever consider moving to the capital, Dan said: “We have lived in London before but I don’t like the idea that you have to live in London to do a decent job.“So, Sheffield’s brilliant, not too far away from the BBC up North and you can’t get Henderson's Relish in London - very important.”Last month, the broadcaster announced he was writing another book in yet another big move away from BBC Breakfast.He did so in a reply to one Instagram user who had left a comment in one of his posts about his novel, Remarkable People.Dan had uploaded a series of pictures of him and his dog walking in the wintry sunshine.He captioned the post: "1: Human. 2: Dog.
