Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell has melted hearts with an incredibly sweet tribute to her father, Mark, following a long-awaited and emotional family reunion in the UK.
The Australian dancer, a beloved fixture on the BBC show, was finally able to wrap her arms around her dad after he and her mother, Rina, made the lengthy journey from Perth to spend precious time with their daughter.
The reunion held extra significance for the Buswell family. Earlier this year, Dianne was forced to make an emergency dash back to Australia after her father was hospitalised due to a serious health scare. The ordeal clearly left a lasting impact, making their recent time together all the more precious.
Taking to her popular Instagram page, Dianne shared a series of candid and joyful snaps from their visit. The photos captured the family enjoying the simple pleasures of being together, from cosy moments at home to exploring the local area.
But it was her heartfelt caption that truly resonated with her legion of followers. She poured her emotions into the post, writing: "My heart is so full having my parents here. After the year we have had, to have them here, happy and healthy, means the absolute world to me."
She saved her most special words for her dad, directly addressing him: "Dad, you are my hero! Your strength and positivity always amaze me. I'm so proud of you. Love you both so much."
The post quickly flooded with comments from fans and fellow celebrities alike, all touched by the public display of family love and relief. Her Strictly co-stars were also quick to respond, with many expressing their joy at seeing the Buswell family reunited and in such high spirits after a challenging period.
