'She loves children' Aliona Vilani quit Strictly Come Dancing 'so she can start a family'
ALIONA VILANI chose to bow out of Strictly Come Dancing because she wants to have a baby with husband Vincent Kavanagh, according to reports.
Aliona Vilani is hoping to start a family after quitting Strictly this week
The professional dancer is said to be feeling broody after quitting the BBC One show less than three days after she lifted the Glitterball Trophy with Jay McGuiness.
The 31-year-old, who wed her spouse last year, is thought to be planning to start a family "straight away".
A source close to the couple revealed today: "Aliona loves children and is ready to have a family."
"As much as she loves Strictly she doesn’t want to put her plans for a baby on hold any more. They are going to start trying straight away," they also told The Sun.

Confirming that the 2015 series would be her last, Aliona tweeted yesterday: "Going into this Strictly Come Dancing Series 13, I decided that no matter what would happen, it will be my last one."
However, it has been said that the Russian-Kazakhstani beauty, who also won the dancing competition with Harry Judd back in 2011, is hoping to land a spot on a reality TV show.
"Aliona wants to concentrate on family life and other TV work which doesn’t involve dancing," an insider told the Daily Mirror.

"I don’t think it will be too long before she appears on a reality show, she is keen to boost her profile and her husband and her management have been aware for a long time that this would be her last appearance," they added.
Aliona first joined Strictly in 2009, when she was partnered with presenter Rav Wilding, who was eliminated in week three.
