Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left delighted by Dianne Buswell’s pregnancy update, as she showed off her blossoming baby bump.
The reigning champion, who lifted the Glitterball trophy with Chris McCausland last year, took to Instagram with an adorable video.
Dianne, who was forced to withdraw from Strictly this year after her celebrity partner Stefan Dennis suffered an injury, became the first professional dancer to appear on the show while pregnant.
She’s been updating fans throughout her journey, after sharing the news that she was expecting her first child with YouTuber Joe Sugg, who she met on Strictly in 2018.

Mimicking the voiceover to a viral TikTok trend, Dianne donned sunglasses in her latest post and turned around to show off her bump, to the words “Nobody is going to know”.
“As they say I have popped,” she captioned the post, adding in the comments: “Getting dressed for rehearsals is getting a little harder these days.”
“Baby’s like ‘I’m heeeere!!!’” fellow pro Lauren Oakley replied, while Ashley Roberts said: “Aww so cute though.”

One fan added: “Your baby boy has just realised he is on ‘Strictly Every Saturday Night… and he is saying’ Hi everyone.. I am here with his little jazz hands waving. Looking Stunning Dianne.” Another said: “Ahh you look beautiful!!! Still so surreal!!”
“So beautiful. He’s getting biggg!!!!” a third wrote, while someone else said: “So lovely , makes it all so real once the bump starts showing and you can feel him moving.”
Earlier this series, Dianne was forced to shut down any rumours about her time on Strictly, insisting she was still able to dance while pregnant.

She said: “I’m still doing everything I did before. Obviously with lifts there’s going to be a bit more caution. But my doctor has said everything is normal.
“He said, basically, if you’ve done it before, in terms of being a dancer and you’ve done this, done that, then crack on and keep doing what you’re doing.”
She later shared on It Takes Two: “This is my ninth year on Strictly, and honestly, it always still feels like the first year. Everyone’s like, “When are you going to leave?” I’m like, “No! How many more years can I do? That’s the question!”‘

Dianne and Joe previously confirmed they were expecting a baby boy, and that they’d already picked out a “unique” name.
In a video on their YouTube channel, Joe said: “The name that we’ve come up with, we’re not going to share it. We can’t really give any clues to it other than I don’t really see this name really anywhere.
“I know some people who have it as their surname but it’s also the sort of name that can be shortened. I’d say it’s quite a unique name.”

Dianne chimed in with: “It’s kind of like Joe, isn’t it? Cute when you’re little, you can call yourself Joseph when you’re older.”
Joe continued: “Or it could be a good sportsperson name. I’ve purposefully not said it out loud at all, whereas Dianne keeps calling him by that name.
“I do feel like between now and our due date, which is another thing I don’t think we’re going to share, I worry that we might end up revealing it by accident. From now on, he’s called Derek.”
Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday at 6.35pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
