Ashley Roberts rubs Janette Manrara’s huge baby bump as Strictly star wears bikini in the garden

PUSSYCAT Doll Ashley Roberts lovingly placed her hand on Strictly pal Janette Manrara while sat soaking up the sun in the BBC dancer's garden.

Then 39-year-old professional dancer, who quit to take over the after show It Takes Two, is now pregnant with her first child with husband Aljaž Škorjanec.

But sat in her garden the global superstar, who made friends with Janette back in 2018 when she joined Stirctly, wore a flattering balck bikini top teamed with denim jean shorts.

Meanwhile, Janette wore an all black bikini ensemble teamed with a straw hat, as she looked down on growing baby bump.

But this is not the first time the pair have spent time at Janette's sprawling back garden.

A few days ago, the duo shared a video with fans dancing the Conga in the middle of Janette's garden.

And Janette lovingly named Ashley he "Sister Susan" as they posed for a number of pictures and a video.

Janette captioned her post saying: "Loving being home, resting, nesting, watching you grow."

The BBC host is set to give birth in late summer following a two-year struggle to get pregnant.

The couple were planning to start IVF before Janette, fortunately fell pregnant naturally with their first child.

She said at the time that she became "overwhelmed with emotion" at the 12-week scan where the doctor told them their baby is "already dancing".

Aljaz and Janette were engaged in 2015 and then married on July, 15, 2017.
