Here are the latest public updates I can share about Janette Manrara's recent activities:
-
She has been touring in the musical Chicago, with reports noting adjustments due to health or travel in earlier legs of the tour. For example, there was a well-publicized instance where she had to pause a performance due to feeling unwell and focused on recovery, which impacted a Chicago run in Blackpool [citation details below]. This indicates ongoing stage work in 2024–2025 with Chicago and related appearances [web sources summarized].
-
Janette has been open about balancing her career with family life, including maintaining time with her daughter Lyra and her husband Aljaž Škorjanec while pursuing touring commitments. She has described the emotional challenges of being away from family during long tours and has mentioned flying home on days off to maximize time with Lyra [citation details below].
-
In addition to performing, she has been active in media roles related to Strictly Come Dancing, such as co-hosting It Takes Two, and has discussed transitions from BBC presenting to other opportunities in theater and entertainment [citation details below].
Notes:
- If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date items from major outlets (e.g., national tabloids and entertainment press) and summarize them with direct quotes and dates.
- I can also provide a quick timeline of her major career moves from Strictly to Chicago and It Takes Two, with links to the original reports.
