Eagle-eyed Strictly Come Dancing viewers spotted a heartwarming moment involving Dianne Buswell as the BBC programme returned for its seventh week.
The popular dance competition has hit its midway mark, with couples returning to show off their skills on the dancefloor, all vying to get one step nearer to claiming the coveted Glitterball Trophy for 2024.
Last week, viewers were left devastated when Ellie Goldstein and her professional partner, Vito Coppola, were sent home after landing in the bottom two.
Following a tense dance-off against Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon, the panel of judges decided Ellie’s journey had come to an end.

Meanwhile, Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope and his professional dance partner Katya Jones bagged the series’ first perfect score of 40. And on tonight (November 8), the scoreboards were reset as contestants showcased their moves once more.
However, away from the main action, eagle-eyed Strictly enthusiasts spotted a touching moment involving pregnant dancer Dianne Buswell, who was there cheering on her colleagues.
Dianne was positioned in front of fellow pro Nancy, who was tenderly cuddling her growing bump, reports Wales Online.
Viewers immediately took to social media to gush over the adorable scene, with one fan joking: “Starting to think Nancy is actually the father of Dianne’s baby [heart emoji].”
Another commented, “I think Nancy might actually be the dad to Dianne’s baby, the way she holds her belly every week. They’re so cute!”
A third person commented, “Love the way Nancy is holding Dianne.”
A fourth viewer added: “Nancy and Amy cradling her bump [heart eye emoji].”

Another fan echoed: “Nancy holding Dianne’s bump.”
Audiences will recall that Dianne, the first pregnant professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, exited the competition when her celebrity partner, Stefan Dennis, was compelled to withdraw.
The Neighbours actor revealed he had suffered a severe calf injury, explaining: “So significantly that I am now forced to withdraw from the show.”
Although left without a dancing partner, Dianne continues to feature on Strictly, cheering on her fellow professionals and participating in the group routines.
It was previously reported that Dianne and her boyfriend Joe Sugg have already settled on a moniker for their expected son.
Joe revealed: “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, but it’s not unique as in-“.
Strictly Come Dancing returns Sunday, November 9 on BBC One.
