Janette tweeted earlier today (April 17th), alongside an angry face emoji: “Hello everyone. My Instagram account has been hacked so please do not message or comment on it for your own internet safety.

“So stressed about this situation, but as soon as it gets sorted I will let you all know. Why people do this, is beyond me!”

At the time of writing, Janette’s Instagram page displayed a profile picture of a dark-haired man and listed his name in the bio Recep Akgül.

It also offered a cryptic message in Turkish which loosely translated to: “Life is a test.”

Responding to her Twitter warning, fans offered messages of support.

One wrote: “So sorry Janette! hope you get your account and all your posts back.”

Another replied: “Hope it gets sorted soon! so sad to see all your amazing memories be deleted. fingers crossed you can get it back.”

Someone else commented: “I’m so sorry Janette, you don’t deserve this at all. We love you so much.”

In February, Janette and her husband, Slovenian dancer and Strictly pro Aljaž Škorjanec, opened up about their baby plans.

The couple appeared on Lorraine and revealed they are “broody” and can’t wait to start a family.

Janette said on the show: “It’s a big decision, for me whenever we do decide to have a child.

“We talk about it all the time. We adore kids. You should see us around babies, we get so broody, both of us. We are definitely going to have children.”

The pair married two years ago in a glittering ceremony attended by a multitude of stars, including former Strictly pals Louise Redknapp, Frankie Bridge and Daisy Lowe.

Sharing a photo of herself and Aljaž after their wedding, Janette told her fans: “Heaven on earth… Happiest weekend of my life.”
