BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Janette Manrara halts It Takes Two and warns co-star 'don't you dare'

BBC Strictly Come Dancing It Takes Two host Janette Manrara has ground the spin-off to a halt to issue a warning to a co-star. The former Strictly Come Dancing pro, who joins Fleur East in hosting the BBC spin-off each weeknight on BBC Two, had a warning for Nikita Kuzmin.

Nikita Kuzmin left viewers’ hearts racing on Saturday night after a sexy costume reveal for Halloween Week. Janette was left having to remind professional Nikita that she was a married woman as he teased the former dancer about liking his costume reveal.

On Saturday night, Kuzmin and celebrity partner Sam Quek performed the Jive to Time Warp by The Rocky Horror Picture Show Cast. And after they got stripped off following the routine, Kuzmin revealing he was wearing a corset and suspenders.

During their interview, Janette said: “OK, Nikita. The reveal, let’s talk about that!” Nikita said: “I know you loved it Janette, I know you did love it!”, causing Janette - who is married to Strictly pro Aljaz Skorjanec - said: “I am a married woman don’t you dare!

“Lace, suspenders, a corset, I mean you were the talk of social media! There were so many comments! Seriously! Look, one person said ‘I actually squealed out loud when Nikita stripped off!’ ‘Nikita in suspenders every week please’ This one is from someone familiar, your partner Layton [Williams] ‘Come on corset and thighs!’

“That was clearly a moment but how was it for the two of you to do that big reveal?” Kuzmin explained: “The thing is, you can’t be afraid to put yourself out there right? Strictly we are all about having fun! Entertaining the audience at home and just having that reveal which you know, it is a little bit provocative, it is right, you don’t usually turn up on Saturday night in suspenders and thong...

“If you do then! No, but I think it is just a fun moment and just going for it, not being afraid of having a little risk.”

Nikita asked: “Janette, have you ever seen Romeo, in suspenders?” Janette said: “Nikita, don’t put things in my mind please, I need to focus!”
