She recently returned home from a sun-drenched holiday with husband Aljaž Škorjanec.

Janette teamed the item of swimwear with a loose-fitting white linen shirt which she draped over her arms in order to show off her svelte frame.

The professional dancer finished her look with a straw hat and tortoise shell pendant earrings.

Janette also took to her Instagram Stories to share a throwback snap of herself wearing the same ensemble.

She simply penned: ‘Sun kissed’.

Janette jetted back from her vacation last week and took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt statement about the trip.

She put: ‘First day back after our holiday… I did lots of reflecting, meditating, stretching, and realised that two themes kept popping up everyday, and those were #gratitude and #forgiveness… 

‘Although this year has been extremely difficult for so many of us, I have found the light in the darkest of places to lift myself up through gratitude. An appreciation for all of the blessings we DO have in our lives; no matter how big or small. 

‘We’re too quick to take things for granted in a desire to always want MORE and MORE! Having ambition is a great quality, but we mustn’t forget to live in our present and be thankful for those things that we do have that are allowing us to chase our dreams.’

She added: ‘It has been scientifically proven through the science of well-being that gratitude offers an instant feeling of joy. Keep working towards your ambitions, but always find the joy in the ride to achieve them… 

‘And as for #forgiveness, I can be my toughest critique. I am quick to forgive others, but I rarely EVER forgive myself. It’s something I am working on for myself. None of us are perfect, and we have all made mistakes along the way. 

‘But it’s in these mistakes that we learn and grow! Embrace these teachings of life as gifts to create a better understanding of you. Learn from them, and grow from them. DO NOT dwell on them! You are only human. And the same applies when forgiving others.

‘Don’t be too quick to judge, and open your heart up w/ the the thought that just like you, others are learning and growing as well… Apologies for the long post (I rarely do them), but you have all been a wonderful online community and are part of the gratitude that I have for the blessings of my life. 

‘And so I wanted to share some of my deepest thoughts in hopes that if you are being tough on yourself (or someone else), or if you cannot find a reason to smile in your day, you have a little bit of love and light to help you through. 

‘(P.S. Thanks for reading all the way until the end. If you did, share this emoji: ✨ Let’s spread some light!) ❤️ #MyThoughts #WellBeing #BeKind.’   

It comes after the couple said they ‘really hope’ this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing will go ahead despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

They also praised show bosses for their response to the crisis, amid claims new measures may be introduced to ensure this autumn’s series can go ahead safely. 

The professionals told Hello!: ‘We can’t wait to get back on the Strictly floor. We really hope the season is going to move forward because we all love doing it.  

‘Everything that has been thrown at the producers so far has been handled so incredibly well so I’m sure that they’re going to find a way that’s best for the show and the individuals doing it.’

Aljaž and Janette added that they’ve been able to find new ways to connect in their relationship after spending weeks isolating together. 

Janette said: ‘We have always felt lucky and blessed to get to do what we love together.

‘It really is a dream to dance with someone you love and I have the ideal partner in Aljaz, especially in these strange circumstances.’

The couple married in 2017 with three ceremonies in London, Janette’s home in Miami and Aljaž’s native Slovenia.
