Manrara Confirms She's 'No Longer a Part' of Strictly
- Janette Manrara announced she is "no longer a part" of Strictly Come Dancing or its spin-off It Takes Two, ending her 13-year tenure with the BBC show.
- Following the departure of long-time hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman at the end of last year, the program is undergoing a massive shake-up ahead of the 2026 series.
- New hosts Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe will lead the autumn series, while professional dancers Karen Hauer and Gorka Marquez will not return.
- Embracing the change, Manrara stated she is "free to pursue other projects," asking, "Oh, we're going into a different world, a different space, how are we going to navigate that?".
- While the line-up changes, Manrara's husband Aljaz Skorjanec remains confirmed to return as a professional dancer this year, with the show described as a "beautiful platform" for performers.
