Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has given fans a fresh glimpse into her pregnancy as she shared an adorable photo of her growing baby bump, as part of a lengthy round-up on Instagram. Sharing some of her favourite moments, the dancer uploaded a photo from a swim session in which she sported a mint green swimsuit, a tight swim cap and goggles, while throwing up the peace sign. In a second photo, the 36-year-old lifted up her jumper to expose her bump for a mirror selfie.

Taking to the caption, Dianne also confirmed: “Baby prep is in full force,” alongside a snap of her boyfriend Joe Sugg, who appeared to be putting together a bassinet ahead of the upcoming birth. The couple who met on the BBC competition series in 2018 confirmed they were expecting their first child together in September 2025. As they prepare for the arrival of their son, Dianne continued to brush off backlash and revealed that she has remained active, following harsh criticism of her Strictly participation during her pregnancy.

Providing an update, Dianne penned: “Working out has been my lifesaver.”

In the carousel upload, the dancer also uploaded a screenshot from a group video call with her Strictly co-stars, including Vito Coppola, Nancy Xu and Michelle Tsiakkas, who all looked shocked as Dianna flashed them her growing baby bump.

The star revealed: “Hahah group call and they wanted to see the growth, I think they were shocked on his progress.”

Dianne was supported by thousands of her 1.1 million followers, as one commented: “So close to meeting a new member of the Buswell family.”

As a second added: “Amazing seeing your pregnancy journey. When you have your little boy in your arms, it will be the best feeling, but it will be odd not feeling the kicks. So excited for you both.”

“Loveee this !! Looks like very exciting times,” a third added. As Michelle took to the comments and remarked: “Won’t be long till we get to meet him now!!”

These photos come after Dianne seemingly made a huge admission about her relationship and hinted that she and Joe had secretly got married.

In a clip, she filmed Joe walking ahead of her towards an escalator, and penned: “In front of every waddling pregnant woman is a husband that forgets I’m pregnant and walks 10x faster … true story.”

Fans instantly inundated the comments demanding clarification, as one said: “Dianne…do you have something to tell us?” A second chimed: “What have you not told us?” As a third questioned: “Did I see the word husband. When did that happen?”
