‘Fleur and I are so, so, so alike. And the more we hang out and spend time together, the more we start finding things that make us similar.
‘So really, I feel like we’re just a piece of each other – literally the same. Whether you’ve got Fleur or me, you’re going to get the same kind of show because… I don’t know, we’re really similar.
‘I mean, we’re both as silly and stupid as each other. We’re both very driven, we both love what we do, and we both love Strictly.’
Fleur added: ‘We try to keep it cool, try and calm it down but we’re both Scorpios with a lot of energy, and we love to laugh so when we’re together that’s what happens’.
Janette, who has been a pair of Strictly for 11 years, went on to add that she hopes Strictly will continue for another 20 years.
She said: ‘I’m really hoping we get 20 more years of the same! For me, being part of the show for, I think, 11 years now, it’s been the most magical 11 years of my life.
‘To keep celebrating dancing, to keep seeing people’s faces light up when they learn a new step or get a routine right, or meeting a fan of the show on the street who say, “Oh my god, I loved that dance” or “I loved that moment when such-and-such happened,” it’s so special.’
