Dianne Buswell has shared an emotional baby update with fans. Last month, Dianne and her partner Joe Sugg announced that they are expecting their first child together. The Strictly Come Dancing professional and YouTuber met originally on the BBC dance competition after being paired together. They announced the exciting news on social media after sharing an adorable Instagram video. Dianne has been partnered with fellow Australian Stefan Dennis for the 2025 series, and recently shared an adorable snap ahead of tonight’s live show.

Posting on her official Instagram story, Dianne revealed that she had been gifted a small cardigan after it was sent to the studio, which is intended for her baby boy, who is due to be born next year.

She added the words with teary-eyed emojis: “This was sent to the studio today and I cannot deal. It’s so small.” Not keeping us guessing over the gender of their baby, Dianne and Joe also confirmed in their announcement that they would be expecting a boy in the new year.

YouTube star Joe Sugg had never been in a serious relationship until he met Dianne on the BBC dance competition. The pair reached the 2018 final but narrowly lost the title.

Their loss did not mean the end of their partnership, as the couple announced their romance shortly after the final. Taking to his official Instagram profile, Joe posted at the time: “I may not have won the Glitterball, but I’ve won something a million times more special.”

Dianne has also made history by being the first professional dancer to perform during pregnancy on Strictly after announcing the happy news.

Speaking on her and Chris McCausland’s podcast, Winning Isn’t Everything, Dianne explained that her doctor had given her the all clear to perform on the show.

“I’m still doing everything I did before,” she said on the podcast. “Obviously, with lifts there’s going to be a bit more caution. But my doctor has said everything is normal.”

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
