Strictly's Dianne Buswell shares update on dad's poor health amid hospital dash
Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Dianne Buswell has shared an emotional update on her beloved dad.
The 34-year-old Australian star previously revealed on social media that her father Mark had been unwell, and she explained what had been going on during a Q&A on YouTube with fans last month. “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,” Dianne said, as she revealed why she had been visibly emotional during the live show.
“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,” the pro dancer, who is partnered with EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, added. In a new update on Instagram, Dianne posted a picture of her dad in a hospital bed, wired up to a machine, surrounded by bright balloons. “Love you so much dad. Sending all my healing wishes and energy your way,” she wrote, sweetly calling her father her “hero”.

I wish you all the best of luck for tonight’s concert, hope you and Bobby have a great dance tonight if Craig give you an 8 you are bound to get top 37 tonight. Love you more. Daddy,” he wrote.
