Janette Manrara says she "can barely walk" as she struggles with pain ahead of welcoming her first child.

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, is set to give birth to her baby with husband Aljaž Škorjanec any day now and has been keeping her fans up to date as she nears the end of her pregnancy.

Taking to her Instagram, the mum-to-be shared a selfie wearing a white sundress and giving a thumbs up to the camera. Janette wrote: "Had some acupuncture today and hoping that will help with the back pain.

"Can barely walk now, but had a check-up yesterday and baby and I are doing good! More rest on the schedule today."

Earlier in the week, many fans suspected Janette had already given birth thanks to a social media post from an excited Aljaž.As they celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary over the weekend, Aljaž's gushing post about his wife left fans wondering if the baby had already arrived.

Paying tribute to her husband online, Janette penned: "Happy 6th wedding anniversary Bučko. Last one just us two. To many more years of adventures, love, and laughter together. I love you w/ all my heart and feel so lucky that our little one and myself get to have you forever."

But while Janette was keen to point our their latest anniversary was "just us two" celebrating, Aljaž's post caused fans to wonder if the Strictly professional accidentally let slip his baby has been born - with some even questioning if Janette has given birth to twins.

Captioning a snap of himself planting a kiss on Janette without a baby bump, Aljaž penned: "Happy sixth (I think) wedding anniversary Bučka. You are definitely in my top three favourite people (right now)." Fans were quick to comment on the post, with one excitedly declaring: "The baby is here? !!!!!!!" Another added "You’ve had the baby!! Top 3!!!" as a third guessed "Twins ?"

The It Takes Two star also recently filmed herself packing her hospital bag to get prepared. She said she had a bad night's sleep but it was time to make sure she had everything ready for when she went into labour.

Back in February Janette and her husband Aljaž announced that they were expecting their first child together. The couple have opened up about how they were looking to go down the IVF route in order to conceive but, when the process started they found that Janette was already pregnant.

Janette recently opened up on the fact she was advised to have an elective C-section for a safe delivery. "It looks like we have a bigger than average size baby, but I’m not an average size human and because of the width of my hips it’s advised that I get a C-section," she said.

"But I feel really relaxed about it all. You really can’t plan everything because there are so many variables and I’m kind of open to all the different options and scenarios."

Janette added to Hello! Magazine: "So, I’m not trying to lock in a certain date or procedure, because you just never really know how it’s going to happen until the baby comes. And I think having that kind of openness in my thoughts has actually kept me quite calm."
