“Lyra Rose is here!” cheered Ashley Roberts. She added later: “So beautiful! Love you!”
Oti Mabuse chimed in: “Congratulations, best news ever!”
Former Strictly star Gemma Atkinson, who has just given birth to her second child, added: “Just wonderful.”
Janette’s former Strictly partner Jake Wood added: “Welcome to the world Lyra!!! You have chosen amazing parents,” to which a fan responded: “She has.”
Strictly pro Amy Dowden said: “Utter perfection.”
The congratulations continued with stars including James Jordan, Lisa Riley and Charlotte Hawkins all sending their love.
When did Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec find out they were pregnant?
The couple found out they were expecting a baby in December last year, just as they were due to start having IVF treatment.
Speaking to Hello Magazine, Janette said: “For the past couple of years we hadn’t been using protection but nothing was happening, so we thought IVF was the next best thing for us to do.”
She added: “I turn 40 later this year and the NHS offers really good services to women under 40. The doctor said that as soon as I got my period we would start injections, but my period never came.
“I know that IVF can be really strenuous on a woman’s body and there is no guarantee it will work, so to know that this little miracle just came from a wonderful night we had together is amazing.”
When she told Aljaz she was finally pregnant, she handed him the positive test, and they “cried and hugged”.
