Strictly’s Dianne Buswell breaks silence after fans feared split from boyfriend Joe Sugg | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Dianne Buswell, 33, put any split rumours to rest yesterday after sharing a sweet picture of herself facetiming her boyfriend Joe Sugg, 31. The pair met back in 2018 when they competed together on the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.
Earlier this week, there was some speculation about Dianne and Joe’s relationship after the Australian-born dancer flew home for Christmas alone.
While some fans questioned whether the pair had perhaps split, plenty of Dianne’s followers also suggested the couple might simply be spending the festive period with their respective families.
Last night, Dianne shared some sweet pictures from her trip to Australia so far to Instagram, including a snap from her video call with Joe.
The pair both grinned as they chatted from different sides of the word, and Dianne captioned the post with some laughing and heart emojis.
“One weird thing, I suppose, is that I just go, ‘Wow, I’m actually so far away from where I was born’. Then I think, ‘Oh my god, like, of all the places I now am living!’
“The UK is a full 24 hour plane ride away from my hometown,” Dianne continued. “And obviously my family are all so far away from me.
“But I must say, I do love the UK and I do love all the people here and I love my job here so, yeah, I really enjoy the UK.”
In Strictly 2018, Dianne and her now-boyfriend Joe made it all the way to the final, before losing out to Stacey Dooley and her partner Kevin Clifton – who also ended up together.
Asked if she ever thought she’d ever find love with a celebrity partner on the show, she replied: “I never did, no, and I feel like all the stars aligned with Joe because we’re just literally such similar people in so many ways.
“We’re very different in ways too, but just our personalities just click so, so well.
“I always think it’s so weird how we met and I feel like everything was just aligned in the right place, right time for both of us. It was pretty special.
“It has been almost four years, which is amazing. I mean it’s crazy, isn’t it? It’s gone so fast!”
