Strictly's Aljaz Skorjanec spotted sobbing while watching wife Janette Manrara's final dance

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left all emotional after spotting Aljaz Skorjanec sobbing over his wife Janette Manrara last night.

They caught the professional dancer in bits off air during her first ever Strictly final.

HRVY and Janette danced for their lives in Saturday's series finale and once again wowed the judges with their moves.

They didn't quite do enough to claim the viewers' vote, but Aljaz knew who the big winner was in his eyes.

Janette's husband and fellow Strictly star let it all out as the cameras caught a little glimpse of him wiping away a tear as his co-stars enjoyed the performance.

It didn't go unnoticed in living rooms around the country.

One posted: "My goodness Aljaz crying watching Janette.. my heart can’t take it!"

"Aljaz being HRVY and Janette's personal cheerleader is getting me really emotional right now," wrote a teary fan on twitter.

Another said: "Aljaž crying, everyone is crying."

Of course, it was Bill Bailey and pro dance partner Oti Mabuse who claimed victory - her second Glitterball in a row.

They beat HRVY and Janette, Jamie Laing and Karen Hauer, and Maisie Smith and Gorka Marquez to win the show.

Upon the announcement, Bill threw his hands in the air and said: "What? What? Oh my god!"

He soon composed himself and said: "It feels surreal, it feels extraordinary, it feels wonderful.

"I never thought that we would get this far, I never thought we would get to the final."
