Strictly star Janette Manrara hints at possible return as pro after landing It Takes Two

She currently hosts the show's spin-off alongside Rylan Clark-Neal

Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara has hinted a possible return to the main show as a professional dancer.

The 37-year-old presenter is currently hosting the show’s spin-off series, It Takes Two, after taking over from Zoe Ball.

But it appears that Janette hasn’t ruled out a return to the Strictly dancefloor.

Hosting the BBC Two spin-off series last night (September 30), the star dazzled in a one-shoulder mini dress.

During the show, Janette sat down with Rhys Stephenson and his partner Nancy Xu.

The pro dancers began by comparing the methods they use to help teach their celebrity partners.

But maybe if I ever do it again…

Rhys explained that Nancy had employed a posturiser in order to perfect his frame.

They used it whilst training for the Viennese Waltz during the show’s first week.

However, Janette explained that she often uses a different tool to help with posture.

But while some loved Janette’s solo appearance, others took to Twitter to complain.

According to some viewers, the American dancer was particularly shouty.

One person complained: “Can someone tell Janette Manrara to stop SHOUTING!!!”
