Strictly Come Dancing fans left pinching themselves as Dianne Buswell chats to Channing Tatum

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left pinching themselves after spotting Dianne Buswell chatting with Hollywood star Channing Tatum during an appearance on The One Show.

Dianne and Stefan Dennis appeared on the BBC programme on Wednesday evening to discuss their rehearsals. Stefan shared that he was feeling confident about their Charleston routine, having previously experienced fear before every dance. Dianne interjected that he was "doing really well", adding that although Monday's rehearsals had been "rocky", he was learning more and more.

Viewers, however, were more taken with the fact that Dianne was seen having a conversation with Channing Tatum about her baby. One fan wrote on X: "dianne talking about her baby with channing tatum of a wednesday evening is wild", while another said: "dianne buswell having a conversation with channing tatum on a random wednesday evening wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card". A third added: "Have I just witnessed Dianne Buswell and Stefan Dennis on the same sofa as Channing Tatum Someone pinch me this has to be a dream right??"

The appearance comes after Stefan was forced to pull out of Movie Week just days before the live show due to illness. A BBC spokesperson said he had been advised by doctors to rest and would not dance that weekend, with the couple receiving a bye through to the following week.

Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman also sent Stefan a message during the show, wishing him a speedy recovery and passing on love from all of us.
