Janette Manrara has found herself being flooded with messages from fans after they were left in awe of her latest family update. The dancer-turned-presenter shared the 'precious' moment her brother and sister got to meet their baby niece for the first time.
Janette's siblings jetted over from Miami just a couple of weeks after her parents returned to America following their first visit to meet their grandchild at Janette and her husband Aljaz Skorjanec's new Cheshire home.
Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers Janette, 39, and Aljaz, 33, announced they were expecting a baby back in February and took fans along with them on their pregnancy journey, which came as a delightful surprise after they planned to start IVF treatment before Janette fell pregnant.

After keeping their unborn child's gender a secret from fans, the couple then confirmed their daughter, Lyra Rose Skorjanec, had made her entrance on July 28 in a social media post alongside a sweet black and white photo taken in the hospital of the new family of three for the first time.
Little Lyra has since been introduced to both sets of grandparents and many of Janette and Aljaz's celebrity pals including Dan Walker and Sara Davis. But it was her introduction to her auntie and uncle that has left fans cooing.
Taking to Instagram, Strictly It Takes Two host Janette gushed over the "beautiful moment" when her younger brother and sister were introduced to their niece. "Such a beautiful moment where my little brother @fizzymanrara and little sister @missleslymarie met their niece! I’m so fortunate to be so close to them no matter how far apart we are," Janette wrote to her 588,000 followers.
"They really are my best friends and bring so much joy and love into my life, and now they can do the same with Lyra. Spending this week with them and enjoying watching them be a great uncle and auntie to our little girl," she added.
In the candid video, Lyra can be seen on her mum's lap as her auntie and uncle approached the baby girl and their sibling. They were then seen spending quality time together with plenty of cuddles being had.
And fans were quick to respond to the post. @strictly_jaljaz said: "Their reaction is everything. The bond you share with them is the cutest." @chantelbriody52 commented: "You and Aljaz both have lovely families that come to see you all. See you in December Janette. Lots of love."
