Professional dancer Dianne Buswell has proudly displayed her growing baby bump as she teams up with her partner, YouTube personality Joe Sugg, to film an exciting new television series. The couple, who are just weeks away from welcoming their first child together, have ventured into a project far removed from the glitterball world of Strictly Come Dancing.
A New Creative Journey
Dianne, aged 36, took to Instagram to share a series of charming snapshots from the set of their upcoming show, titled Raiders of the Lost Crafts, which is set to air on Sky HISTORY. In her caption, she enthusiastically announced, 'We're filming a TV show. Joe and Dianne star in Raiders of the Lost Crafts on Sky HISTORY. We’re travelling round the country exploring some of the UK’s most traditional crafts.' She added that filming is still ongoing, offering fans 'some little sneak peaks' while expressing eagerness to share the full series soon.
Behind-the-Scenes Glimpses
The photos provide a delightful insight into the couple's adventures across Britain. One image captures them posing on a picturesque beach, smiling broadly for the camera as they reveal their new venture to followers. Another playful shot sees Joe and Dianne recreating the iconic pottery scene from the 1990 film Ghost, standing before a pottery wheel with evident joy.
Further images showcase Joe getting hands-on with crafting a metal casing for a traditional wooden wheel, while Dianne is pictured with an intricate stone carving design. The duo also attended a carving lesson together, highlighting their immersive experience in various artisanal skills. A particularly tender photo features Dianne cradling her baby bump on the beach during a filming break, looking down lovingly at her stomach.
Pregnancy Humour and Updates
In a lighthearted social media post earlier this week, Dianne played her pregnancy for laughs by using an age-accelerating filter that turned her trademark red hair grey. She joked, 'When you feel like your pregnancy is lasting forever. I’m just kidding I can wait! But the last trimester deffo hits differently.' Her Strictly Come Dancing colleagues, including Amy Dowden, found the post hilarious, filling the comments with laughter.
Earlier this month, Dianne hinted that the birth of their baby son is imminent in a sweet update. She created a video montage featuring miniature versions of hers and Joe's items, such as tiny clothes, shoes, and even a Strictly-themed onesie, captioning it, 'When 2 will soon become 3 the last one!' The couple first announced their pregnancy in September and have been sharing regular updates with fans ever since.
Strictly Legacy and Romance
Dianne made history as the first professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing to compete while pregnant, although her partner Stefan Dennis was forced to withdraw due to injury in 2025. Her romance with Joe Sugg blossomed when they were paired together during the sixteenth series of the show in 2018, leading to a strong relationship that now includes this new collaborative project.
While an exact air date for Raiders of the Lost Crafts has not yet been released, it is anticipated to premiere on Sky HISTORY in the near future. This series marks a significant departure from their usual endeavours, showcasing their passion for traditional British crafts and their journey into parenthood.
