BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Janette Manrara says 'this is the truth' as she shares desperation after It Takes Two

Janette Manrara has told fans 'this is the truth' as she shared her desperation at wanting to get home after her latest appearance on Strictly Come Dancing spin-off It Takes Two. The show's former professional dancer has been back sharing hosting duties on the weeknight show with new co-presenter Fleur East.
