Janette Manrara will kick-start her wedding plans if her ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contract isn’t renewed this year.
The professional dancer, who has been on the programme since 2013, doesn’t yet know if she’ll be invited to join the line-up when the Ballroom and Latin show returns to screens in September and, although she’ll be devastated if she doesn’t, at least it will free up her time to plan her nuptials.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "I don’t know if I’m returning this year. I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed to get ‘Strictly’ again – i’m not even considering anything else at the moment but hopefully I’m there so it won’t even have to be something to stress about.
"Let’s hope Strictly calls me or I’ll get more time to plan the wedding and it’ll be sooner then."
The brunette beauty got engaged to her beau Aljaz Skorjanec, who is also a professional dancer on the show, in the summer last year and she has admitted it will be interesting to see how he’d plan their big day.
She explained: "I would love to see Aljaz try to plan our wedding (on his own), although he did tackle our engagement on his own, he picked the engagement and did everything – he did it perfectly so he showed me he can do them things and take control. He was spot on, he was good at making me think we were doing something completely different that night. Maybe he can plan the wedding if he doesn’t get ‘Strictly’."
