Strictly Come Dancing married couple Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara appeared on Friday’s episode of Lorraine to talk about their upcoming tour.
But host Lorraine Kelly couldn’t help asking about their romance and, after Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez had a baby, when they’d be starting a family of their own.
Aljaz told the ITV regular: “We’ve been broody for 10 years now. I don’t know if we can be any more broody. We all have our own times, so we’ll see.”
Viewers at home weren’t happy with the questioning though, even branding the host “rude”.
One said: “Asking a woman when she will be having a child and that she has to. A) Don’t ask a woman that question B) No she doesn’t have to!”

Another wrote: “So rude to ask when people are going to have children.”
A third tweeted: “Did Lorraine Kelly really just ask Janette and Aljaz from Strictly when they’re having babies? Come on love. C*** all to do with you!”
And another added: “When are we going to stop asking couples when they are starting a family? You don’t know what they might be facing and it’s inappropriate.”
Lorraine went on to say that, whenever they did have a baby, they would have to have three christenings, as Aljaz and Janette had three weddings.

As well as grilling the couple on their personal lives, Lorraine spoke about Strictly, as it was confirmed they would be returning for the new series.
Aljaz said: “We can’t believe it that this is gonna be our eighth season. We still see ourselves as newbies, really.
“It changes your life every year. The platform we get to create on and the people we get to meet and dance with, it’s such a massive opportunity.
“It’s the most humbling thing any dancer can go through. We’re so lucky.”

They also spoke of the news that Kevin Clifton has quit the show.
Aljas said: “We joined in the same year, in 2013, and we were friends before Strictly.
“All we wish him is the best for the future. He’s so incredibly talented, whatever he does I know it’ll be a success.”
Janette added: “He’s always going to be Kevin from Grimsby.”
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV
