YouTube star Joe Sugg had never been in a serious relationship until he met Dianne on the BBC dance competition. The pair made it to the 2018 final, but narrowly lost out on 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.”

Strictly Come Dancing returns on September 20 on BBC One.
