Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Dianne Buswell has delighted fans by announcing that she and her boyfriend, YouTube star Joe Sugg, are expecting their first child, and it’s a boy!
The couple, who first met when they were paired together on the 2018 series of Strictly, took to Instagram to share the happy news with their millions of followers. The announcement came via a beautifully produced and heartfelt video, poignantly set to Elton John’s classic Tiny Dancer.
In the video, Dianne and Joe are seen setting up an easel, giggling as they pretend to paint together. The playful moment ends with the pair proudly revealing a hand-drawn picture on the canvas, two stick figures, one with Dianne’s trademark bright red hair, holding hands with a smaller figure representing their baby.
The reveal prompted an outpouring of love from fans and celebrity friends alike, who flooded the comments section with congratulations. Strictly co-stars, including Oti Mabuse and Gorka Márquez, were quick to share their joy for the couple.
Joe captioned the heartwarming post: "Our little baby boy, we cannot wait to meet you." Dianne, meanwhile, shared the same video on her own Instagram with the caption, "Our biggest adventure yet, Baby Suggwell due 2026!"
The pair also revealed that their first child is expected to arrive sometime in 2026, giving fans plenty of time to share in the excitement as they prepare for parenthood.
Dianne and Joe’s romance has been a Strictly success story from the very beginning. After their sparkling chemistry on the dance floor during season 16 of the hit BBC series, fans speculated that love was in the air, and they were right. The couple confirmed their relationship shortly after the series ended, and have been inseparable ever since.
In the years following their time on Strictly, the duo have shared glimpses of their life together, from holidays to home renovations, and now, their journey toward becoming parents.
Fans have been praising the couple for their creative and heartwarming way of sharing the news. Many said the video brought them to tears, while others remarked how perfect it was that they used Tiny Dancer as the soundtrack.
As the Strictly family continues to celebrate engagements, weddings, and babies (with several pro dancers recently becoming parents themselves), this latest announcement only adds to the joy surrounding the show’s beloved cast.
With Dianne and Joe preparing to take on their most exciting challenge yet, fans will no doubt be eagerly watching for updates, baby bump photos, and, perhaps, some dancing-inspired nursery content along the way!
