Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has revealed the hilariously blunt verdict her father delivered after watching her emotionally charged contemporary routine with celebrity partner Bobby Brazier.
The professional dancer, 34, shared a heartwarming video call with her Australian-based father Mark Buswell, who didn't hold back when giving his assessment of their moving performance to Coldplay's 'Fix You'.
The Emotional Performance That Captivated Strictly Fans
Dianne and Bobby's contemporary dance during the BBC show's Musicals Week left both judges and viewers visibly emotional, earning them an impressive 36 points and securing their place in the competition. The routine, which paid tribute to Bobby's late mother Jade Goody, was praised for its raw emotion and technical excellence.
However, when Dianne asked her father for his thoughts during their video call, Mark responded with typical Aussie directness: "It was good, but I think you could have done better."
Family Reactions That Had Social Media Buzzing
The professional dancer couldn't help but laugh at her father's unexpected critique, sharing the exchange with her 948,000 Instagram followers. Fans were quick to comment on the relatable family moment, with many noting how fathers often maintain their critical eye regardless of their children's achievements.
One fan wrote: "Dads will be dads! So lovely that he's watching all the way from Australia," while another added: "This is the most dad reaction ever - never satisfied!"
The Journey Continues for Dancing Duo
Despite Mark's constructive criticism, Dianne and Bobby remain strong contenders in the competition, having consistently impressed both judges and the public with their chemistry and dedication. Their ability to handle emotionally challenging routines while maintaining technical precision has made them fan favourites throughout the series.
The pair are now preparing for this weekend's quarter-final, where they'll need to bring their best performances yet as the competition reaches its climax.
