Janette Manrara has marked a “first” with her baby daughter Lyra as she posed in a bikini.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 40, welcomed her little girl last July with her husband Aljaz Skorjanec. This week, Janette marked a milestone with Lyra as she took her for her first swimming lesson.
She shared a couple of photos from the lesson as well as a video showing Lyra floating around in a swimming pool with her mum.

The first photo showed proud mum Janette looking incredible in a black bikini as she held little Lyra. She then posted a video of herself in the pool with Lyra, who was holding onto a float and looking around.
The final picture saw little Lyra wrapped up in a towel after the lesson as Janette smiled at her.
Gushing in the caption, Janette wrote: “Today was Lyra’s first day in the pool AND her first swimming lesson! She loved it and so did mummy.
“Thank you @puddleducksmidcheshire for creating such a beautiful environment for our new little swimmer. Happy to report we’re heading back next week! @adam_peaty would be proud.”
Adam Peaty, who is an Olympic swimmer and appeared on Strictly in 2021, wrote: “Bless her! Great work Lyra.”
Gemma Atkinson commented: “Her little costume,” followed by heart face emojis.
Meanwhile, Fleur East – who recently became a mum to her first child – wrote: “So cute!!”
