The professional dancer, 39, confirmed in February that she is expecting her first baby with her co-star husband Aljaž Škorjanec, 33.
It was a welcome surprise for the couple, who were just about to start IVF treatment after struggling to conceive for two years, before the pregnancy happened naturally.
Taking to social media on Saturday, Janette expressed her gratitude for all the support she has received since going public with her exciting news.
Sharing a picture of her growing bump, she wrote: ‘Just a quick appreciation post. We feel so much love from you all.
‘Thank you for all the kind messages and support. We are growing happy and healthy together. I don’t take for granted how fortunate I am, and count my blessings everyday for this little miracle 🤍’

‘It’s not as hard or physical as I’m used to, but I do get tired faster so taking breaks in between as and when I need them, and doing movement that I know won’t hurt me or the baby is crucial.
‘My body is changing and I love seeing how it develops as the baby grows. It’s fascinating what our bodies do to create life.’
