Janette Manrara had her Strictly Come Dancing co-stars, friends and fans all emotional as she was reunited with her husband Aljaz Skorjanec and their daughter after weeks apart.
The dancer and presenter was seen breaking down in tears earlier this month as she shared with fans that she had said her 'goodbyes' to Aljaz and their daughter, Lyra, amid her new role.
It was first revealed back in January that Janette would making her stage debut in the iconic musical in the lead role of Roxie Hart as it tours across the UK and she has since been seen taking to the stage in the iconic role.
But a recent stint performing in Ireland saw Janette take time apart from Aljaz, who headed to Slovenia to spend some time with his family.
Janette emotionally said at the time: "Hi gang, just said my goodbyes to Aljaz and Lyra and I won't see them for two weeks now. But, sharing is good because it makes us all feel better.
"I'm going to miss them a lot. It's the longest I'll be away from Lyra so starting the countdown until the day I see her again. But in the meantime, I'm going to stay strong and know that Mommy is making her proud and she's going to have the best time with her cousins and Nan in Slovenia."
Janette then added: "So anyways, to all the parents that have to say goodbye to their kids for work or whatever reason, it's always tough but we've got this. We've got it!"
Now, the family-of-three have been reunited and Janette took to social media with an adorable video of the moment little Lyra saw her mum in person for the first time in a couple of weeks.
The one-year-old was seen in Aljaz's arms and lit up at the sight of her mum before sticking out her arms and asking her mum to come over. Janette took her little one into her arms and appeared emotional as she cuddled into her, while Lyra giggled and excitedly kicked her legs.
Captioning the sweet post, Janette wrote on Instagram: "My heart could not be more full. Back together w/ @aljazskorjanec and my little Lyra," before later revealing they have since gone back on their travels and have ditched the UK for Mauritius for the next week.
But as for the post, Janette's co-stars, friends and fans were quick to respond. Gemma Atkinson said: "Oh bless her," alongside a string of red heart emojis while her partner Gorka Marquez simply posted the single tear crying emoji and a love heart eyes emoji.
Strictly pro Amy Dowden commented on the post: "Well this made me cry!" Former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley replied: "My heart. She will be so proud of her momma. You got this." It Takes Two co-host Fleut East posted: "Such a sweet reunion!! She was so happy to see her Mummy! My heart."
