Strictly Come Dancing professional Aljaž Škorjanec has said that he is the "proudest he has ever felt" while appearing on Strictly It Takes Two for the first time with his wife Janette Manrara presenting.

Despite these being tough shoes to fill, with Zoe being well-loved for presenting It Takes Two for ten years, Janette has been a huge hit with fans.

Her husband Aljaž, is still dancing on Strictly Come Dancing and is partnered with Dragons Den star Sara Davies in this year's series.

He appeared on Strictly It Takes Two tonight alongside Sara, discussing their Cha Cha Cha from last week and their upcoming dance of the Fox Trot.

This was the first time he has appeared on the show with Janette hosting and he took the opportunity to say it was "the proudest he had ever felt" watching her host.

He said: "I can just say this is the proudest I have ever felt in my life, I am sitting next to my work wife, I am sitting opposite my wife. I am such a lucky man! I am such a lucky man!"

When Karen laughing replied, "I love you both!" Aljaž said: "I love you literally!" as the coupled shared a sweet moment.
