IS STRICTLY'S

CHAMP READY FOR NEW ROUTINE?

- BY JANINE YAQOOB

Dancing is at the centre of everything for Dianne Buswell - it's where she made her name and found the love of her life.

But the Strictly professional says she’s prepared to waltz away for a while to start a family with partner, podcaster and YouTuber Joe Sugg.

They met on the 2018 series of the BBC show after being paired together and romance blossomed away from the bright lights and the cameras once their stint had ended.

Dianne, 36, has opened up about their family plans as she shares what made her fall for Joe, 33.

"It wasn't until the show ended that we realised we missed each other's company a lot - our relationship went from there," she explained.

"We always got on, he was so funny to me, and I loved how creative he was.

"We've always wanted kids, it's just finding the right time. I don't feel worried about taking time out from dancing, I just don't see the point in worrying. When everything aligns, it will happen. I have to have that vision. I like to practise manifestation, I'm quite spiritual."

The couple live in Brighton, where they share a £3.5million mansion.

They've long been open about their desire to start a family. And Dianne recently had to deny suggestions they had got engaged after speculation grew online when she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger.

Grilled on Good Morning Britain by Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, she explained how some of her fingers had swollen up after a flight, so she moved rings from her right to her left hand.
