BBC's Strictly star Dianne Buswell pays sweet tribute to partner Joe Sugg

Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has paid a sweet tribute to her boyfriend Joe Sugg, giving fans an insight into their relationship.

The 34 year old professional dancer, who met Joe on the BBC dance show after she was partnered with him back in 2018, took to social media to give fans a glimpse into her relationship. Taking to Instagram, Dianne, who is partnered with Bobby Brazier in the competition, wrote: "Bless him waking up to take me to the station in his PJs." This came alongside a picture of a weary looking Joe, who was still sporting bed hair.

In another post, she shared another picture of them enjoying an autumn walk, with Dianne picturing Joe standing face to face with a giant wooden squirrel - and the caption simply read: "autumnal." The Strictly dancer was recently forced to defend her relationship with Joe over rumours of a split was circulating earlier this month. Proving that their union is going from strength to strength, she posted a picture of their Sunday roast dinner as she reshared a post from Joe where she told him that she "loves him more than she did before."

But Bobby hasn't helped the rumour mill from spinning as he revealed that he fancied Dianne. Speaking at this year's Pride of Britain Awards held at London's Grosvenor House, he exclusively told The Mirror: "At the minute my hero is Dainne Buswell, she's like my sister who I kind of fancy a little bit at the same time. She's my coach and my teacher. She's an unbelievable dancer." Bobby then coyly looked down to the ground and smiled as he continued to say: "She's my hero at the minute."

The connection on the dance floor is certainly clear for all to see but it also looks as though their close bond isn't just on the dancefloor. Last month, the pair were spotted taking time out of their gruelling rehearsal session in pictures obtained by OK!. In one snap, the eldest son of the late Jade Goody and TV personality Jeff Brazier, was seen playfully touching Dianne's face. And it didn't stop there as in another pictures they were seen walking with their arms wrapped around each other.

On Saturday's live show, Dianne was visibly upset after she finished her dance routine with Bobby, leaving many to fear the worst. But during a Q&A session with fans she explained that it was over her father's ill-health. Dianne had thanked Bobby for his support and called him her "rock." Explaining her situation with her fans on her YouTube channel, she said: "I thought I would be very upfront and honest with you all. Last week I got some news about my dad’s health and I won’t go into detail, but obviously, that affected me. Being away from home and not being able to support and help your family in a time of need is quite a difficult thing so I did struggle a little bit last week in terms of that."

She went on to say: "Being away from home and not being able to support and help your family in a time of need is quite a difficult thing so I did struggle a little bit last week in terms of that." Dianne's sad news comes after she posted a cryptic message on her Instagram where she hinted there was more to the story. The picture showed a large circle, which was labelled "someone's life", with a smaller circle showing how much those on the outside "know about it". Above the image was the text: "Why you should be kind to people."

On last week's live Strictly show, both Dianne and Bobby seemed flat, even after being awarded a respectable 30 out of 40 from the judges. As she appeared to well up, Dianne said of Bobby: "He has just been a massive rock this week, so thank you." When asked how he felt, Bobby said: "Just emotional. It's been so, so emotional all week." Dianne leaned into Bobby and hugged him close.
