Dianne Buswell 'very lucky' in sweet baby boy update

Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has shared an adorable update about her baby boy Bowden, saying she feels "very lucky" during World Breastfeeding Week.

The professional dancer and her YouTube star partner Joe Sugg welcomed their son Bowden in March, having announced their pregnancy ahead of the BBC One dance show's 2025 series, which she competed in with Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis.

First day back at work

At the end of last month, Dianne shared a picture of herself with Bowden, appearing emotional as she prepared to head back to work on the programme, which is due to return in September for its 2026 series.

She wrote alongside the image of her baby boy, nicknamed 'Bowie' by his parents, resting on her shoulder: "First day back at work. Mummy will miss you so much my boy."

She followed up with another selfie, writing: "So many lovely positive msgs from other mummas. Thank you all. Means a lot."

World Breastfeeding Week celebration

Dianne regularly shares updates about being a first-time mum, and as the weekend arrived she celebrated World Breastfeeding Week with an adorable Bowden video.

She said: "So grateful for these little moments with my boy. Feeding can look different for every mum and every baby, and I know every journey comes with its own story. This week isn't about one way being the 'right' way — just celebrating, supporting and being a little kinder to every mum, however feeding looks for her. Feeling very lucky for these quiet little moments together that I know won't last forever."

The dancer received love from friends, with Fleur East commenting: "Yes mama!!! It's not an easy ride, but it's incredible" and both Amy Dowden and Vito Coppola sending red heart emojis in support.

Strictly return

In only a few weeks, Dianne will be back in the BBC ballroom for the new series of Strictly, hosted for the first time by Emma Willis and Josh Widdicombe.

Joining Dianne this year are Jowita Przystal, Alexis Warr, Amy Dowden, Aljaz Skorjanec, Julian Caillon, Kai Widdrington, Katya Jones, Lauren Oakley, Nancy Xu, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Vito Coppola, and Carlos Gu, who won last year's series with former England footballer Karen Carney.
