Dianne Buswell is overjoyed with her pregnancy news and return to the Strictly Come Dancing stage, but being far away from her family is challenging. The Australian dancer, currently in rehearsals for the BBC dance competition, is expecting her first child with YouTuber Joe Sugg, whom she met on the show. Dianne is making history as the first pregnant contestant on Strictly and is partnered with Neighbours star Stefan Dennis for the upcoming season.
Despite her excitement for the dance show, Dianne expressed sadness at missing her brother’s 40th birthday celebration back home in Australia. She shared photos of her parents dressed up for the occasion, highlighting the distance separating her from her family. Dianne also recently reunited with her 2024 partner, Chris McCausland, for a special performance that left the audience in tears.
Reflecting on her pregnancy, Dianne mentioned that she is maintaining her dance routines with some caution, especially with lifts. Her doctor has given her approval to continue dancing normally, ensuring her safety and the baby’s well-being. Dianne and Joe happily announced the gender of their baby boy in an adorable social media post, eagerly anticipating his arrival.
As she navigates her pregnancy journey on the dance floor, Dianne is grateful for the support of her colleagues and fans. She shared a heartwarming moment backstage where she introduced her previous and current celebrity partners to each other, showcasing the bond she has with her fellow dancers. Despite the challenges of being away from family, Dianne remains focused on her dancing and upcoming performances on Strictly Come Dancing.
