Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell has brought her trademark humour to her pregnancy journey, sharing a lighthearted new video with her followers on social media. The Australian dancer, who is expecting her first child with partner Joe Sugg, posted the amusing clip on Monday, showcasing her growing baby bump while poking fun at the experience.
A Comical Take on Pregnancy
In the video, the 36-year-old dancer employed an age-accelerating filter, transforming her appearance to look significantly older. With a playful grin, Dianne joked to her audience, 'When you feel like your pregnancy is lasting forever.' She quickly followed up with a more sincere note, adding, 'I’m just kidding I can wait! But the last trimester deffo hits differently.'
Dianne looked radiant in the clip, sporting a simple white tank top and matching shorts. She embraced her natural beauty, appearing without any makeup, which highlighted her glowing complexion during this special time. Her relaxed and joyful demeanour shone through, capturing the excitement and anticipation of impending motherhood.
Reactions from Fellow Stars
The post quickly garnered attention and amusement from her celebrity friends and colleagues. In the comments section, fellow Strictly professional Amy Dowden responded with a series of laughing emojis, clearly finding the video as hilarious as fans did. This interaction underscored the supportive community among the Strictly cast, who have been following Dianne's pregnancy journey with enthusiasm.
Preparations for the New Arrival
Earlier in the week, Dianne offered a sweeter, more sentimental update, hinting that the birth of her baby son is imminent. She created a charming video montage featuring her and Joe's personal items, alongside miniature versions of the same objects. The clip included tiny clothes, shoes, and even a Strictly-themed onesie, all prepared for their new addition.
Captioning the Instagram post, Dianne wrote, 'When 2 will soon become 3 the last one!' This heartfelt message reflected the couple's readiness and eagerness to welcome their child. The pair first announced they were expecting back in September and have been sharing regular updates with their fans ever since, building a narrative of joy and anticipation.
Recent Snapshots and Moments
Last week, Dianne's blossoming baby bump was showcased in new photographs shared by Joe Sugg. One playful snap captured the couple during an evening stroll, both lifting their shirts to reveal their bellies in a humorous pose. Another image showed them sharing a tender kiss, highlighting their strong bond as they approach parenthood together.
Joe also posted a photo of Dianne on a shopping trip, where she cradled her bump while wearing a stylish green sleeveless dress. He captioned the post, 'Back in the UK fighting off the jet lag and looking back on some highlights of the trip down under...' This referred to their recent Christmas visit to Australia, Dianne's home country, where they enjoyed beach outings and quality time together.
Navigating Pregnancy on Strictly
Dianne made history as the first professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing to compete while pregnant. However, her journey on the show took an unexpected turn when her partner, Stefan Dennis, was forced to withdraw due to injury. This led to some speculation among fans, prompting Dianne to address the situation directly.
At the end of last month, she firmly responded to claims that Stefan's exit was 'planned' to accommodate her pregnancy. Dianne wrote, 'Just to clarify as I have had lots of people msg me thinking this is a cover up for me being not able to dance!? Firstly we wouldn't lie especially about somebody being sick! And secondly I am fine, yes I am pregnant but I'm also very capable and feeling really good!'
She further explained that there are established protocols in place for when professionals face sickness or injury, noting that similar situations have occurred in previous years. For instance, last season, Lauren Oakley stepped in for Amy Dowden after Amy had to withdraw due to injury. This clarification emphasised the show's adaptability and Dianne's commitment to her role, despite the challenges of pregnancy.
A Romance Born on the Dance Floor
Dianne and Joe's relationship began when they were paired together during the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018. Their connection blossomed from the dance floor into a lasting partnership, now culminating in the arrival of their first child. Fans have followed their love story with keen interest, making this pregnancy a particularly celebrated event among the Strictly community.
As Dianne continues to share updates, her blend of humour, honesty, and excitement resonates with followers, offering a relatable and uplifting glimpse into her journey towards motherhood. With the birth seemingly close, the couple's preparations and joyful moments promise more heartwarming content to come.
