Aljaz, 35, who lifted the Glitterball Trophy last year alongside Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, has long been a fan favourite. His wife and professional dance partner Janette, 41, is equally loved by viewers and has continued to shine since stepping back from the main Strictly line-up. The sudden drop in prices echoes similar recent struggles faced by other Strictly stars with their live events. Just last month, The Sun revealed that Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood was forced to slash tickets for his one-man show by more than 70 per cent at some venues. Tickets for his gig at Birmingham's 2,262-seat Symphony Hall, scheduled for April 20, were originally priced between £39 and £89. But in a last-ditch attempt to fill empty seats, prices were quietly dropped to just £11 on seat-filling site Show Film First - a platform often used by artists and theatre producers to salvage undersold events. Despite the steep discount, more than a third of tickets were still unsold just hours before Craig took to the stage. The evening had promised 'big songs, tall tales, and glamour', as Craig swapped critiques for cabaret to showcase his lesser-known musical talents. Around the same time, Nadiya Bychkova faced her own challenges in selling out her 'tell-all' one-woman show. Inside Strictly couple Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec's luxury babymoon at Slovenian retreat Tickets for her tour, A Special Evening with Nadiya, were being flogged for as little as £5, with sources claiming she was struggling to fill venues across the country. Seats originally priced between £27 and £43 were cut to just £5 in a desperate attempt to fill seats - also through Show Film First. During the show, Nadiya pledged to lift the lid on her life story and share behind-the-scenes gossip from her time on Strictly, as well as perform some of her most memorable dances from the BBC series. 4 Tickets for their London Palladium performance are now available for just £15 Credit: Splash 4 Craig Revel Horwood was forced to slash his tickets by more than 70 per cent Credit: Rex
