Episode JANETTE MANRARA: Losing Out on the Strictly Job Has Changed How I See Rejection
Janette Manrara has been a fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing for 14 years, first as one of its professional dancers and then as the co-host of its spin-off show, It Takes Two.
I first met Janette during my time on Strictly and from the moment we met, her love of dance was completely infectious.
Earlier this year, Janette announced she would no longer be part of It Takes Two. In our conversation, she opens up about what it was like to say goodbye to the show that's shaped much of her career, and why she's more excited than ever about what comes next.
Janette shares:
• What it felt like to miss out on the Strictly hosting job • What working on Strictly Come Dancing was like • Discovering who she was outside of dancing before becoming a mum • Why her biggest goal in life is to go to Cuba
Janette brings pure joy to every room she walks into. She is a reminder that when one dream comes to an end, it doesn’t mean the story is over.
