Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell and YouTube star Joe Sugg have shared an emotional update with fans as they prepare to welcome their first child together. The couple, who announced they are expecting a baby boy in September, posted the final instalment of their annual Vlogmas series on YouTube, revealing it will be their last as a duo.
In the video, Joe became reflective as he thanked fans for their continued support. 'That, is it. The end of the vlog and the end of Vlogmas,' he said. 'This is two or three years in a row now, I can’t remember, but I just want to say thank you very much to everybody that has watched these vlogs, followed them along, followed the build-up to Christmas Day.'
Joe went on to describe how meaningful the tradition has been, adding: 'Thank you very much, it’s been fun. It’s always an absolute joy to do. I love it. Being able to watch back on memories, especially around such a lovely time of year. So, thank you for having interest in it and being a part of your day.'
He then hinted at the major life change ahead, telling viewers: 'I will see you all in the new year in 2026, which I am predicting is going to be quite a different year to our normal years. This is the end of the last Vlogmas that we’ll ever do as a two. This time next year there will be three of us.'
The couple announced their pregnancy in September with a video on Instagram showing them painting a canvas, revealing two stick figures holding hands with a smaller figure between them and the date '2026'. Soundtracked by Sir Elton John's Tiny Dancer, the post was captioned: 'Our little baby boy. We cannot wait to meet you.' The announcement prompted congratulations from Strictly judges Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse, professional dancer Johannes Radebe, and fellow dancer Amy Dowden, who wrote: 'Still screaming, dancing and celebrating! So so happy for you both! Magical. Auntie Ames can’t wait.'
Buswell and Sugg first met when they were paired on the 16th series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, later confirming their relationship. Buswell recently competed in the latest series, having won the glitterball trophy last year alongside comedian Chris McCausland, the programme’s first blind winner. Fans on YouTube shared their support, with one writing: 'Congratulations Joe on completing Vlogmas. I have really enjoyed watching you and Dianne preparing your little boy's room.'
