Strictly’s Aljaž kisses wife Janette after he’s booted off show amid rumours he’s quit

STRICTLY Come Dancing's Aljaž Škorjanec passionately kissed his wife Janette Manrara after he was booted off the show last night.

The 31-year-old star's emotional reaction to his and celeb partner Sara Davies' departure sparked speculation that he'd quit the programme and will not be returning to the series next year.

And amid his tears, former Strictly pro Janette was on hand to comfort the Slovenian hunk, with the two cuddling up in the back of their car.

While their driver took them back to their home, Janette affectionately leaned in to her husband, who was wearing a bold blue leopard print hoodie.

Aljaž can be seen smiling through the smooch, both stars' eyes closed as they enjoy the intimate moment.

The happy couple have been loved-up since 2009, tying the knot in 2017 and consistently avoiding the infamous 'Strictly Curse' despite both being stars of the show.

In fact, Janette actually credits the hit BBC show for saving their relationship as they were on the verge of splitting before being snapped up by bosses in 2013.

The couple first met while performing in Broadway's Burn The Floor, and toured the world together - but with the tour drawing to a close the couple faced a difficult long-distance relationship.

While she prepared to jet back to LA, Aljaž was going to return to Slovenia.

During his and Sara's elimination last night, Strictly viewers were left convinced that Aljaž accidentally let slip that he'd quit the hit series.

Weeping as he paid tribute to the Dragon's Den favourite after they lost their dance-off against Tilly Ramsay, the emotional dancer said that he'd "miss everything about this show".

It came after sources dished to The Sun that Aljaž and fellow pro Oti Mabuse had told pals they plan to hand in their notice.

Earlier this year, Janette quit as a pro dancer but instead landing a role co-hosting Strictly's sister programme It Takes Two alongside Rylan.
