It's been three years since fans bid farewell to Aljaž and his incredible talent, but now he's back and ready to take on the competition once again.
The 34-year-old Strictly veteran, who famously won the glitterball trophy with Abbey Clancy in 2013, has already experienced some emotional moments as the launch of the new series draws near. In a recent interview, Aljaž opened up about his training for this year's show and revealed one particular moment that brought him to tears.
After his last appearance on Strictly in 2021, where he was paired with Dragons' Den star Sara Davies, Aljaž and his wife Janette Manrara welcomed their first child together, 13-month-old Lyra.

Speaking to The Agency, Aljaž shared his excitement about being back on the Strictly set and being surrounded by the amazing people who make the show possible. He described the team as a big family and said it truly feels like home to him.
In fact, during the pre-recording of the group numbers, Aljaž had a special moment when he saw his two favorite people, Janette and Lyra, watching from the audience. It was a full-circle moment for him, and he felt incredibly blessed to have his family there supporting him.
When asked about his decision to return to Strictly, Aljaž admitted that it wasn't something he had planned on. But once the opportunity presented itself, he couldn't say no. After weighing the pros and cons, it was clear that he had to come back to the show that changed his life in so many ways.
Aljaž also expressed his gratitude for being welcomed back with open arms by the show's producers, considering that Strictly has never had a professional return before. He sees this as a chance to make the most of the experience and is determined to give it his all.
For Janette, watching her husband return to the dancefloor has been an emotional experience. She even admitted to tearing up while watching his rehearsal footage. And as for Aljaž, he couldn't be happier to be back in the training room, doing what he loves and feeling fulfilled once again.
As we eagerly await the start of the 20th series, it's clear that Aljaž and Janette are a big part of the Strictly family. And with their undeniable talent and dedication, we can only expect great things from them on the dancefloor. Who knows, maybe they'll even take home another glitterball trophy in the future. As Aljaž said, anything is possible in the world of Strictly Come Dancing.
