Janette Manrara has been flooded with compliments as she slipped her blossoming bump into a black mini-dress before strutting it around a service station. The former Strictly Come Dancing star looked gorgeous in the snap which she cheekily posted to Instagram.
Janette, who is weeks away from welcoming her first child with her fellow ex-Strictly star husband Aljaž Škorjanec, was seen walking past the fridges in the service station shop but looked glamorous while doing so as she was seen sporting a halterneck black dress with black heeled boots.
The dance-turned-presenter, who is now known for hosting Strictly spin-off It Takes Two, added a fur-trimmed coat to her look and her luscious dark locks were kept straight as they fell just above her petite shoulders.

"'Slaying on aisle 1! I repeat, slaying on aisle 1!' Haha!" Janette, 39, started the caption of her post before asking: "Is it too early to say #mamastillgotit? What do you reckon @mamastillgotit_ ? (Love you Louise)."
She went on to say: "Been fun finding outfits that are stylish and comfortable all at the same time! Who says mamas don’t feel confident and sexy too, even at the services!?" Janette rounded off her post by typing: "Thanks to the services where this picture was taken for the runway!"
And the compliments soon came flooding in. @disneymanrara said: "Woot woo!! You look absolutely gorgeous Janette!! Wish I had your confidence!!" @bibliobeth wrote: "You look amazing!!" @stephanie_skeldon replied: "Mumma to be is slaying.
@strictlyslillyx posted: "You're glowing janette , the most stunning mamma to be." @judi_fisher shared: "Mama has it in spades!!" @windmillcottagecrafts posted: "Looking good there, glowing even." @z.chan16 added: "You look incredible J. Stunning!!!"
It comes after over the weekend, Janette shared a video of herself fresh out the shower with wet hair and her blossoming bump wrapped in a towel as she spoke about making the most of some 'me time'. "So when I said I’m trying to enjoy my mornings of #MeTime… I really meant it!" she started the caption of her post.
"At the moment this whole routine takes me about 20min (on the days like today when I wash my hair). Need to bring it down to about 5min max for when the baby comes… but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. I need to have time to shower to begin with!
"In the mean time, I’ll enjoy my quiet mornings, birds chirping, and calm; that’s why I didn’t add sound to this one. Just enjoying the peace and a little ASMR." She added: "I’ve tagged all the products I’m currently using below. I love switching them around, but regardless these are always my 'go to' in one way or another. Oooo… also, started using @mamamioskincare and I love their products! This is a new one on my current list of faves."
Some of Janttes followers were quick to respond, suggesting she won't have much time on her hands once her baby arrives. @ladysusu2807 said: "5 minutes max, that made me chuckle, aiming a bit high there, if my babies were anything to go by." @lorene_roche24 wrote: "Enjoy me time as much as you can. Once your beautiful little bundle arrives. It's all go 24 7. So relax as much as you can."
But @emmachappy was among those wanting to put Janette at ease, writing: "Don’t let people scare you by saying you’ll have no time for yourself, I think it’s so awful when people do. In the initial 6 weeks don’t think about housework, or cooking or anything other than yourself and baby resting."
They continued: "Having a good firm routine is key to having time to yourself, people don’t tell you that, and when your baby is napping then that is your time for you, to sleep, to shower, to have a bit of self care time. The best gift you can give to the both of you is a cleaner once a week for 2 hours over the first 12 weeks and batch cook loads of meals before your baby arrives. You’ll both be brilliant parents xx."
