Grab your sequins, because the fabulous Strictly Come Dancing star is about to twirl into motherhood! Yes, darlings, Joanne Clifton, 42, the reigning queen of the dance floor, just dropped the news that she’s expecting her first little dancer with her fiancé, AJ Jenk. Can you believe it? This revelation came straight from her Instagram, where she showed off her Baby On Board badge—talk about adorable! And guess what? Baby is set to make their grand entrance in December, just in time for the holiday twinkle!
Now, our favorite dance diva isn’t just any former champion; she took home the trophy back in 2016 alongside Ore Oduba—talk about iconic! AJ jumped into the comments with a cheeky quip about their future kid having a name that sounds like all the pop stars wrapped into one. Honestly, we can’t wait to see what wild names they come up with; the pressure is on, people!
And of course, Joanne's Strictly fam was quick to shower her with love. Dianne Buswell and Oti Mabuse must have sent a flurry of virtual glitter bombs because that's how they do it in the dance world. So sweet, right? Also, let’s not forget she just got ENGAGED! She flaunted that stunning engagement ring last month with a sassy caption: 'Got bored… so we’re getting married. Cheers.' Classic Joanne!
This whirlwind romance kicked off in 2020, even after she swore off dating anyone from her own industry. GIRL, WE SEE YOU! Talk about a glow-up plot twist! Are we ready for some Strictly baby drama? Because we’re absolutely here for it.
Stay tuned for more updates, because you KNOW we’ll be watching this one like hawks!
