BELATED APOLOGY: Strictly Come Dancing’s Janette Manrara Shares HEARTBREAKING UPDATE in Tense Post

Janette Manrara has apologised to fans after pulling out of a stage appearance at the last minute.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer is currently starring in Chicago, but was forced to pull out of the show at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens last night due to illness.

In a message on her Instagram Stories, she wrote: “It takes a lot for me to miss a show, so to anyone coming to Blackpool tonight, I am deeply sorry.

“I am unwell and must rest to recover quickly and be back on stage. The cast is absolutely phenomenal so the show will be as magical as it always is. I’m on the mend now and hoping to be back ASAP. Love you all, Jxxx.”

Janette made her stage debut back in March in the iconic role of Roxie Hart, Chicago‘s leading lady, an aspiring actor who gets herself in trouble with the law after murdering a man she was having an affair with.

It comes months after the TV star and her husband Aljaž Škorjanec opened up about a “stressful” life change following their move to a new home.

Explaining their decision to move back down south after living in Cheshire for two years, Janette said: “It was a mix of two things. Obviously, we loved being up north, and we fell in love with the house because that was the first home that [daughter] Lyra lived in.

“A lot of her first moments were all in that house.”

“We tried it this year with me commuting to London for It Takes Two and Aljaž staying down in London for the whole series of Strictly,” she continued, saying they spent “very, very minimal time together as a family” and that she and Lyra were travelling twice a week and staying in hotels.

She continued: “It’s just not feasible for us to do that because the priority is family and spending time together and Lyra’s well-being, and that is not going to be sustainable if Aljaž is going back to Strictly, which hopefully he is.”
