Strictly fans spot ‘something missing’ as Janette Manrara hosts BBC Two spin-off It Takes Two

It's Christmas and Strictly, so where were the sparkles?!

Fans of BBC Two Strictly Come Dancing spin-off It Takes Two were divided over host Janette Manrara‘s appearance on the show last night (December 9).

Janette hosted the show in a floral 80s-style dress with amazing statement shoulder pads.

However, while some loved it, others thought the 80s had “thrown up” on the former pro dancer.

Fans spot something missing

Others noticed that something was missing from the dress, though.

“Jeanette, where’s all the glitter gone???” they asked.

“Lovely but what happened to your glitter?” asked another of the non-sparkly outfit.

Janette looking gorge again tonight,” said one.

Mmm, lovin #Janettemanrara‘s dress!” said a second.

Strictly spin-off fans deliver Janette verdict

Aside from her brilliant presenting skills on her debut series of It Takes Two this year, Janette’s outfits have caused quite the stir.

The pro dancer clearly has a penchant for sequins, but some viewers have taken to Twitter to admit that Janette looks more suited to dancing than presenting.

They’ve also made comments of concern for the Strictly veteran, who performs her weekly Manrara’s Masterclass dance lesson in sky-high heels.
