Get the tissues ready!

One of the most-loved professional dancers on the show, Aljaz Skorjanec has finally reunited with his family after not seeing them for two years.

He's married to It Takes Two and former Strictly star Janette Manrara, and the couple headed to Slovenia to spend Christmas with Aljaz's family.

Janette shared emotional videos of the moment when Aljaz finally got to hug his loved ones who were waiting excitedly at the airport.

‘We made it,’ Janette wrote, adding: ‘2 years and a baby niece later but cuddles and love all around for the next few weeks.’

She shared videos of the dancer reading and playing with his young nieces and nephews, and Aljaz also shared his own clips.

The couple married in 2017, after first getting together in 2009.

Janette used to dance on Strictly too, however has been presenting this year after taking over as host of It Takes Two, the spin-off show.

However, fans were thrilled when Janette returned to the dance floor to perform a routine with Aljaz to Ed Sheeran, performing 'Bad Habits' on the show.

Aljaz wrote on Instagram: ‘I have missed dancing with my Janette this year. The most beautifully expressive and emotional dancer that I have ever seen just happens to be my Bucka.

‘Watching her excel on ITT has made me the proudest I’ve ever been of her but getting her back into my arms to dance with Ed was MAGICAL!’

Janette added: ‘I missed dancing w/ him more than I can ever explain. He is my everything and the bond that dance has given us is inexplicable. I loved every second of it, and I love you my Bučko'
