“Can we go back to the photo?” Aljaž asked Janette before adding, “That’s the lady from Traitors?”

“Yes, it is. Moving on. It’s Diane. Diane is in the building,” Janette said, confirming that it was indeed Diane Carson.

“I knew it! Look at her!” Aljaž said in shock.

“Look, she’s not very excited,” Janette joked, seeing Diane’s unimpressed expression.

Meanwhile, Tasha was thrilled to have her mother and grandmother Strictly for the first time.

“They are very proud,” she said. “My grandmother is my best friend. She has always been my biggest supporter, she always believed in me.”
