The latest series of Strictly Come Dancing started off with its typical glitz and glamour at the weekend.
TV presenter Zoe Ball has now stepped down from the companion show 'It Takes Two' after 10 years in the role.
Ball was contestant herself on the main show in the third series in 2005 and came third alongside partner Ian Waite.
Waite joined Ball and had a regular segment on It Takes Two, but has also now quit.
The show takes place on Monday to Friday at 6.30pm on BBC Two.
Professional dancer Janette Manrara has taken over the role and is presenting alongside Rylan Clark-Neal. She debuted on the show last night.
Upon taking the role, she said: "It’s a dream come true to become part of the It Takes Two team! Although it’s impossible to fill in the shoes of a legend like Zoe Ball, I hope to make her and all of the Strictly fans proud.
"I will miss dancing on that iconic dance floor weekly, but forever grateful to continue being a part of the Strictly Come Dancing family!"
Who is Janette Manrara?
Manrara was born in Miami, Florida in the USA.
Before pursuing her career in dancing, she worked in banking for seven years and became a senior loan processor.
She quit her job to take part in the fifth season of US TV show 'So You Think You Can Dance', making it through to the top 20, before being eliminated later on.
Speaking in 2009 to Buddy TV on what could have been a very different lifestyle, she said:
"I started [at the bank] when I was 18 and I hadn't stopped.
"So I've been in banking for seven years almost. I was a senior loan processor.
"I was actually doing very, very well with my job and it was tough to leave it, because it was very secure.
"I had a steady salary, steady benefits, an apartment. I had everything going for me before I left for the dancing."
She is married to Aljaž Škorjanec, who himself joined the Strictly lineup in 2013.
According to the Express, they duo met while sharing a dance studio in 2010, it was here Škorjanec proposed to her five years later.
They eventually tied in the knot in London in the summer of 2017.
Škorjanec won the first series he featured in, series 11, alongside model Abbey Clancy. He nearly won again with model and presenter Gemma Atkinson, but the pair were pipped by Katya Jones and actor Joe McFadden.
The Slovenian is currently partnering entrepreneur and Dragons' Den personality Sara Davies, they received the lowest score in week one of the competition.
Her strictly record
The strictly star has been a regular part of the professional dance line-up since 2013, where she was partnered with Welsh fashion designer Julien Macdonald.
