Dianne Buswell of Strictly Come Dancing has offered a realistic inside look at her relationship with boyfriend and former dancing partner Joe Sugg.
On-screen, the actress has been the topic of the latest Strictly speculation after seeming tearful on the BBC programme with partner Bobby Brazier last week.
She addressed the issue on YouTube after causing alarm when she became noticeably tearful following their dance, before thanking Bobby for his support and referring to him as her “rock.”
Dianne has now revealed one of the happiest elements of her life: her relationship with YouTube sensation Joe, whom she met on Strictly in 2018.
The couple waltzed their way to the show’s final before confirming their relationship.
Since then, their love has grown stronger, with Dianne posting an exceptionally heartwarming gesture from her boyfriend on her Instagram page.
Dianne captioned a photo of a sleepy Joe beaming for the camera, ‘Bless him waking up to drive me to the train in his PJs.’
Joe, an actor and social media figure, may be seen in a car with Dianne wearing fluffy black pyjamas and a crazy, bedhead haircut.
She also uploaded a photo of the couple on a lovely fall walk the day before, with Dianna capturing a photo of her boyfriend standing face to face with a large wooden squirrel and captioning it “autumnal.”
It comes after Dianne said that she had gotten several messages from fans wondering whether she was okay after seeing her seem unhappy on the show during a Q&A session on her YouTube channel.
‘I thought I would be very upfront and honest with you all. Last week I got some news about my dad’s health and I won’t go into detail, but obviously, that affected me,’ she said.
‘Being away from home and not being able to support and help your family in a time of need is quite a difficult thing so I did struggle a little bit last week in terms of that.’
While Dianne’s family in Bunbury, Western Australia, had planned to go to the UK for Christmas to see her on Strictly, she announced that would no longer be the case and that she would instead be returning to Australia at the end of the year.
‘There is a little road ahead for my dad but I believe 100% he is going to be fine and we are all going to get through it together,’ she added.
Dianne asked fans to give her dad ‘a little thought or prayer’, before praising him as the ‘sweetest, kindest man you will ever meet.’
‘The one thing he really wants is for me to keep going and to keep dancing my little heart out and doing what I love because that makes him the absolute proudest,’ she said.
She began to get visibly emotional before saying she was going to try her best to do an ‘amazing job every single week’.
‘Regardless if I go home with a glitterball or not I will still go home and have a hot Christmas,’ she added.
