Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell has delighted fans by sharing a series of intimate family photographs from her festive trip home to Australia, proudly displaying her growing baby bump.
A Festive Family Reunion Down Under
The 36-year-old dancer, who is expecting her first child—a baby boy—with internet personality and partner Joe Sugg, 34, jetted to Australia to spend the Christmas period with her parents. The wholesome snaps, posted on Instagram this Wednesday, captured the essence of their holiday. Highlights included a tender moment where her nephew was seen sweetly planting kisses on her bump, watching sunsets with Joe, and exploring Perth city, including a tour bus ride around the iconic Kings Park.
Fans were quick to flood the comments with supportive messages, noting how happy and content the expectant mother looked. One wrote, 'Beautiful photos what a wonderful holiday you are having back with your family,' while others praised the evident joy in the images.
An Intimate Australian Baby Shower
The Australian holiday also featured a heartfelt baby shower, organised by Dianne's family. In a separate sweet post, the glowing mum-to-be showed off her bump in a gorgeous blue floral maxi dress, wearing a 'mum to be' sash. She stood beside her beaming parents, Rina and Mark, in a beautifully decorated home, with a table full of sweet treats in the background.
Dianne captioned the pictures: 'Our Australian baby shower with the family. Thank you to my gals and Mia for putting so much effort in to make it so fun and special.' The celebration marks another milestone for the couple, who announced their pregnancy in September with a creative video set to Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer'.
A Strictly Love Story
Buswell and Sugg first struck up their romance after being paired together on the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018. Their journey has now led to this exciting new chapter. Notably, Dianne made Strictly history this year by becoming the first professional dancer to compete on the show while pregnant, before her celebrity partner, Stefan Dennis, was forced to withdraw due to injury.
The couple's creative pregnancy reveal video featured them playfully pretending to paint at an easel before unveiling a drawing of two stick figures—one with Dianne's signature red hair—holding hands with a baby, charming their legion of fans.
