Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell celebrated her final day of work on Wednesday as she eagerly awaits the arrival of her first child with partner Joe Sugg. The 36-year-old dancer, who is expecting a baby boy, shared a heartfelt Instagram post showcasing her baby bump in a stylish white shirt and grey blazer, captioning it "One more day to go."
Countdown to Parenthood
The couple, who announced their pregnancy in September, have been diligently preparing for their son's arrival. Earlier this month, they revealed the completion of their nursery, a charming duck-themed room that Joe personally helped decorate. The social media star painted the bedroom white with green paneling and added duck wallpaper, creating a cosy and whimsical space.
Nursery Details and Sentimental Touches
Joe constructed a wooden cot and furnished the room with several pieces of wooden furniture, including a chest of drawers, a bookcase, and a miniature stool. The couple added a comfortable armchair and adorned the walls with children's art, vintage wooden tennis rackets, and a basket filled with books and teddy bears. In a touching Instagram post, Joe expressed his joy in working on the project, noting that his favourite element is a bookshelf made by his grandfather, which holds sentimental value.
Historic Strictly Pregnancy
Dianne made history as the first professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing to compete while pregnant. Her partner in the competition, Stefan Dennis, was forced to withdraw due to injury, leading to speculation that the exit was planned to accommodate her pregnancy. Dianne firmly addressed these claims, emphasising that she is capable and feeling well, and that protocols exist for any professional's sickness or injury.
Romantic Beginnings
The couple's romance blossomed when they were paired together during the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018. Since then, they have shared their journey with fans, from their relationship milestones to the exciting anticipation of becoming parents. As Dianne steps away from work to focus on her due date, the couple looks forward to welcoming their son into their lovingly prepared home.
