In a joyous announcement that has delighted their legion of fans, Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell and her partner, YouTube star Joe Sugg, have revealed they are expecting their first child together.
The couple shared their happy news with an adorable video posted across their social media channels, marking the next chapter in a love story that began on the glittering Strictly dancefloor seven years ago.
A Strictly Love Story
The red-haired dancer, 34, and digital creator Joe, 32, first met in 2018 when they were paired together on the sixteenth series of the BBC's flagship entertainment show. Their instant chemistry translated into dazzling performances and captivated the nation, ultimately finishing as runners-up.
While they didn't lift the Glitterball Trophy, they won something far more precious: a lasting relationship. Against the backdrop of the famous Strictly 'curse', which often sees relationships falter, theirs has flourished, becoming one of the show's most enduring and beloved success stories.
The Adorable Announcement
The pair chose to share their pregnancy news in a characteristically creative and heartfelt way. The video, which quickly went viral, shows the excited couple in a sunny field, barely able to contain their grins.
In a playful nod to their beginnings, the clip culminates with Joe presenting Dianne with a positive pregnancy test inside a small box, mimicking the moment celebrities discover their professional dance partner at the start of each Strictly series. The emotional and genuine reaction from both has been widely praised by fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Overwhelming Support from Fans and Co-Stars
Congratulations have poured in from across the entertainment world, particularly from their Strictly family. Fellow pro dancers, former contestants, and show judges have all expressed their delight at the news.
Fans have flooded social media with messages of support, celebrating the couple who have been open about their lives and relationship, from renovating their countryside home to supporting each other's careers.
This new arrival will mark the beginning of an exciting new adventure for Dianne and Joe, solidifying a partnership that continues to charm the British public.
