Janette Manrara supported by her mum as she returns to social media after Wynne Evans’ Strictly comments
JANETTE Manrara has been supported by her mum on Instagram while making a return to social media.
The singer and choreographer’s return to social media comes after Wynne Evans made a vile sexual comment to the tour host.
In the recent videos shared on her Instagram stories, Janette, 41, explained how she had hit her head in the night, with her posts marking her return to the platform.
The dancer spoke of how her nightstand was moved and she banged her head, which then led to her putting a special ointment on it and concealing the bump with a hat.
After explaining how she “didn’t want to showcase” the bump on her head, Janette panned the camera around to show viewers how her mum was sitting beside her.
Janette’s mum was quick to cuddle up to the dancer as she explained how she had been busy “doing a show called Strictly Come Dancing live”.
She told viewers how she had the day off and then proceeded to tell her mum how she wanted to thank her, with her mother adding: “I love you,” complete with a kiss.
“I couldn’t be on stage, and I couldn’t be making you all happy and smiling, if it wasn’t for you,” she gushed before kissing her mum.
This comes after Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans was heard suggesting a threesome with mum-of-one Janette.
VILE COMMENT MADE
The Strictly star was heard using the derogatory term “spit roast” when he made the vile suggestion.
The incident took place came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, when the Go Compare singer reportedly made a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them.
It was then that he allegedly made the joke.
An image shows the moment the joke is said to have taken place, with Wynne seen wearing a blue top, glancing over his right shoulder at Janette.
In the snap, Janette, who is married to professional dancer Aljaž Škorjanec, can be seen standing next to the opera singer with her head down as she gazed at the floor.
Wynne has since issued an apology after the incident came to light.
APOLOGY ISSUED
He told The Mail on Sunday: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
