Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell and her partner, YouTube sensation Joe Sugg, have given fans an intimate glimpse into their preparations for parenthood by unveiling their baby boy's charming nursery in a heartfelt Instagram video shared on Sunday. The couple, who famously met while paired on the sixteenth series of Strictly in 2018, are eagerly counting down the final days until they welcome their first child together.
A Labour of Love: Crafting the Perfect Nursery
The video reveals a meticulously designed duck-themed bedroom, showcasing Joe's dedicated handiwork over recent weekends. He painted the walls in a crisp white with elegant green paneling, complemented by playful duck wallpaper that sets a whimsical tone for the space. Joe was seen assembling a sturdy wooden cot and integrating several pieces of custom wooden furniture, including a chest of drawers, a bookcase, and an adorable miniature stool.
Personal Touches and Sentimental Details
To complete the cozy atmosphere, the couple added a plush armchair and adorned the walls with a collection of children's art and vintage wooden tennis rackets. A basket overflowing with books and cuddly teddy bears adds a touch of warmth and comfort. In a particularly sentimental moment, Joe highlighted a bookshelf crafted by his late grandfather, expressing how thrilled his grandad would have been to see it displayed in the nursery.
Joe humorously captioned the video, noting that if their son grows up with a fear of ducks or old squash rackets, they'll know the reason why. The couple shared a joyful high-five and a tender moment where Joe cradled Dianne's baby bump, clearly delighted with their creation.
Balancing Pregnancy and Professional Projects
This nursery reveal comes shortly after Dianne showcased her baby bump in a green bikini during a swimming session last week, emphasizing how being in the water makes her feel her best as she approaches her due date. Simultaneously, the pair are busy filming their new television series, Raiders of the Lost Crafts, for Sky HISTORY. The show departs from their Strictly roots, following them as they explore traditional crafts across the UK.
Anticipation Builds for New Series and Parenthood
Dianne shared sneak peeks from the set, including a playful recreation of the iconic pottery scene from the film Ghost and images of Joe engaging in metalwork. The couple announced their pregnancy in September, and Dianne made history as the first Strictly professional to compete while pregnant, though her partner Stefan Dennis later withdrew due to injury in 2025. With no confirmed air date yet for their TV series, fans eagerly await both the show's debut and the arrival of the couple's baby boy.
