Janette Manrara doesn't see herself returning to Strictly Come Dancing.

The professional dancer was part of the BBC show for eight years, but left last year and joined spin-off show It Takes Two as a presenter.

She took over the duties from Zoe Ball, joining Rylan Clark on the show.

Speaking on This Morning, she spoke about whether she'd ever go back to dancing with a celebrity.

"No, I don't think so now. It Takes Two is my new home and I'm very happy there," she said.

She added: "I am excited to sit down and chat with my mates about dancing, and a show I'm obsessed with anyway.

"I just felt right at home, and Rylan [Clark] and the whole team just made it so smooth and easy for me, and they made me feel so welcome, so it was amazing. I loved every single show I did."

Janette said she'd be keen to do more presenting, telling Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes: "Zoe Ball as well has been so supportive. She was messaging me through the whole series saying, 'You are doing great, I'm watching you, well done!'

"So it was a sensational transition if I do want to get into presenting, that probably was the best thing I can do.

"I'd love to keep presenting. Obviously I wanna keep dancing, I don't think that is ever not gonna be a part of my life."

Janette, who is married to fellow pro dancer Aljaz Skorjanec, is also hosting the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour.

She recently explained why the cast wouldn't be able to meet audience members at the stage door following the shows.

"It's only just to protect ourselves so that we can make sure we get the show up and that we're able to perform and bring all the different cities in the UK a great, great performance," she explained.

Strictly Come Dancing is expected to return to BBC One later this year.
