Ex-Strictly Come Dancing pro Joanne Clifton has shared her engagement news with viewers of It Takes Two, as host Fleur East made the announcement during the show.
The 41-year-old dancer took to Instagram earlier today to reveal her upcoming marriage to partner AJ Jenks, posting several photos of the couple with a caption that humorously declared their decision to tie the knot.
Making her first on-air announcement, Joanne appeared on It Takes Two where co-host Fleur East welcomed her back for Choreography Corner, highlighting her busy schedule with a stage performance in Faulty Towers the Play and the recent engagement news.
Acknowledging the congratulations, Joanne joked about her outfit being a bit too on-the-nose with a white dress. Fleur expressed happiness for Joanne’s engagement, echoing the sentiments of many well-wishers.
Known for her achievements in ballroom and Latin dancing, Joanne has a decorated career with victories in British, Italian, European, and World championships. She notably won the Strictly Come Dancing competition in 2016 alongside Ore Oduba before transitioning to stage productions post-Strictly.
Joanne and actor AJ have been in a relationship since 2020, prompting an outpouring of support from fellow celebrities, including former Strictly stars like Gorka Marquez, Carlos Gu, Oti Mabuse, and Karen Hauer, who congratulated the couple on social media.
Stacey Dooley, who is romantically involved with Joanne’s brother Kevin Clifton, also expressed joy and love for the engaged couple online. Kevin, a former Strictly professional himself, shared the news on his own social media platforms, celebrating Joanne and AJ’s engagement with emojis and heartfelt words.
This breaking showbiz news story is generating buzz across various social media platforms and celebrity circles, with fans and well-wishers sending their congratulations to the happy couple.
