Strictly Come Dancing couple Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec have dropped the biggest hint yet they are trying for a baby.
The professional dancers say they ‘can’t wait’ to become parents after leaving the ITV show last year.
But Janette, 38, shared her and husband Aljaz, 32, are ‘leaving it up to the universe’ as they both embark on new careers.
The couple worked on Strictly together for eight years, but Janette is now a presenter on spin-off show It Takes Two alongside Rylan Clark.
While Aljaz is set to follow his dreams of becoming an actor and is currently in training.

In a new interview with Prima magazine, the pair gave fans an insight into their 11-year relationship and plans for the future.
They revealed they do hope to start a family together one day, but are avoiding putting any deadline on it for now.
Janette shared: “We believe in leaving it up to the universe and taking whatever we’re blessed with.
“We want to be parents and can’t wait for the day that comes, but we’re not putting pressure on how, when and it what capacity that will be.”
Last year, Janette’s career move to presenting seemed the perfect time to expand their family.
While she is definitely ready to become a mother, she admits the thought of her body changing due to pregnancy scares her.
She told HELLO! magazine: “As a woman who’s a dancer, my body is my job, so it’s scary to make that decision about the perfect time to start a family.
“I always thought there would be a perfect month and year, but what 2020 [lockdown] made me realise is that perfect time is never going to come along.
“It definitely made me say to myself, ‘You know what Janette, it’s never going to be the perfect time, but it’s always going to be the right time.’”
Gushing about how ‘lucky’ she is to have ‘wonderful’ Aljaz as a husband, Janette said he would be the ‘best dad’.
Just last month Aljaz told fans he ‘wants to be a family man’ and is concentrating on supporting his wife who is ‘smashing it’.
Since both leaving Strictly in 2021 and having more time for each other, the couple say they have ‘fallen in love all over again’.
Aljaz told OK! magazine : “Whenever we spend time away from each other, we can’t wait to get back together, which is lovely. It makes us miss each other more.
“We’ve literally been together for 24/7 for 11 years. It’s hard to get used to. But we’re getting used to being a normal couple now.”
