Strictly Come Dancing star Aljaz Skorjanec says his eviction from the show has made it harder to see his wife Janette Manrara.
The professional dancer, who was partnered up with Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo, was booted off the show last weekend.
He has opened up about how it’s been difficult spending time with his wife as they’ve had to follow strict social-distancing rules while in the studio, but with Aljaz out of the competition, it will only make things worse.
The couple’s work schedules are hectic due to gruelling rehearsals for hours on end each day throughout the competition.
They got married in 2017, but this year they have been forced to live apart for the first time in over a decade as they moved into bubbles with their dance partners for the show.
The 30-year-old has dished on how the pair manage to work around their busy schedules in order to spend time with each other.
Aljaz told Decathlon’s The Power of 10 podcast: “We can see each other on a Friday and Saturday in the studio, obviously keeping to two metre distance.
“But the two of us are so focused, you know, with jobs, so at the moment it’s OK because we’re so busy, but if one of us [were to] be eliminated and then… one of us [would] have to be at home on their own. That’s [when] I think it would get a little bit harder.”
The TV star also revealed who his dream celebrity dance partner would be on the long-running BBC series.
Aljaz would love to dance with no-one other than his stunning wife.
“You know, I’ve been blessed with eight incredible celebrities [in] my Strictly time so far and all of them lovely, lovely human beings that were so excited to do Strictly and excited to dance,” he said.
“So I’ve always had the best time. But if I could have a dream celebrity for the future, if I could do it with Janette one year, that would be amazing.”
Janette’s loving husband also revealed he is certain she will be lifting the Glitterball Trophy this year.
She is paired up with YouTube star HRVY.
“I feel like Janette is going to win. Definitely,” he gushed.
“She’s so talented. She has so much great creativity in her. She’s amazing at what she does. I think it’s just a matter of time when she wins Strictly as well.”
