Strictly stars Janette Manrara celebrates Nadiya Bychkova's birthday at fancy Wilmslow restaurant

Strictly Come Dancing stars Janette Manrara and Nadiya Bychkova were out celebrating in Wilmslow at a top restaurant. The pair were out catching up and celebrating Bychkova's belated 34th birthday, which took place last month.

The two professional dances had been unable to celebrate together as Bychkova had taken a trip away with boyfriend and fellow Strictly star Kai Widdrington. The couple, whose birthdays are just a day apart, celebrated together at the St Pancras Rennaissance Hotel in London.

But now that Bychkova has returned from her getaway, she was whisked away by Manrara. The two celebrated with drinks at the Cibo restaurant in Wilmslow.
