Janette Manrara has revealed her fears over leaving her daughter behind while she embarks on the next step of her career.
The It Takes Two host, 41, shares daughter Lyra-Rose, 19 months, with Strictly Come Dancing star husband Aljaz Skorjanec, 35.
And following the end of the latest strictly tour, Janette is set to hit the road once again while she heads off on a nationwide tour of Chicago.
The American dancer is set to make her musical theatre debut, treading the boards as Roxie Heart as the production of Chicago hits 20 venues across the UK and Ireland.
While her next career move is an exciting one, Janette admitted that it ‘scares me’ to be away from her daughter for so long.
During an appearance on The One Show on Thursday, Janette confessed her feelings as host Roman Kemp said: ‘You and Aljaz just finished the Strictly tour so is he and your daughter Lyra going to be coming down.’

To which Janette replied: ‘That’s what kind of not worries me but scares me a little bit because it’s a long contract and to be away from her. Aljaz is going to come to as many venues and cities as he possibly can, Blackpool being one them.
‘We’re going to go back to Blackpool and I’ve been there only with Strictly so it’ll be interesting to go now with Chicago but yeah they’re going to come with me as much as possible.
‘And I’m flying home on days off just to cuddle her as much as I can.’
Fellow mum Alex Jones then remarked: ‘It’s the balance isn’t it?’, to which Janette agreed, adding: ‘Yeah’.
During the recent Strictly tour, Janette revealed it ‘takes a village’ as she enlisted various family members to help look after Lyra while she and Aljaz worked.
As well as her mother, Aljaz’s sister and brother-in-law stepped into help, as well as Aljaz’s parents.
In one post on social media, Janette penned: ‘Being on the road with @strictlycomedancinglive is amazing, but as a I’ve mentioned, it takes a village when it comes to making sure Lyra is happy and safe.
‘This past week, it was her aunt @laraljubic and uncle @nejcljubic that stepped in w/ her cousins to look after her and it’s safe to say, she had THE BEST time! Thank you to my awesome sister-in-law & her husband for being so incredible. We love you and I’m sure we’ll see you again soon!’

While another read: ‘And the final week of the #StrictlyLiveTour childcare puzzle, was having @aljazskorjanec parents come and look after Lyra the final week of shows. They had THE BEST time and all the updates I kept getting from them were constant photos of Lyra smiling.
‘Thank you @natasaskorjanec and Srečko for being such great grandparents and creating such beautiful memories w/ Lyra while mom and dad worked. I keep saying it, but it takes a village and knowing Lyra has so much love around even if far away, makes my heart smile.’
It comes after Janette was recently embroiled in controversy with Wynne Evans, who was axed from the Strictly live tour over a vile remark he made about her.
Last month, the opera singer, 53, stepped down from the tour after The Mail On Sunday revealed he made a vile remark about a ‘spit roast’ aimed at Janette during a photocall for the tour.
In the Mail On Sunday video, Wynne can be seen stood in the middle of a line-up of 20 celebrities and dancers as Janette, who hosts the TV spin-off Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, is summoned to join them.

As she approaches, Wynne warns her with a grin: ‘Not too close to Jamie [Borthwick]!’
He then pulls a suggestive face at the actor, behind Janette’s back, as she moves between them. It is at that point Wynne makes his disgusting joke at her expense.
Seconds later, her dancer husband Aljaz, who was standing nearby, asks her: ‘Darling, are you OK?’ She replies curtly: ‘Yep.’
Wynne has agreed with the BBC to step away from the tour and any other work commitments to ‘take some time out’ as the inappropriate jibe looks set to sink his entire career.
