Dianne Buswell is soaking up a truly special moment as she celebrates her pregnancy surrounded by family and love. The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 36, shared a series of sweet photos from her Australian baby shower, where she and partner Joe Sugg were treated to a joyful celebration organised by her family.
Expecting their first child together, Dianne and Joe spent Christmas Down Under with her parents, Rina and Mark, making the occasion even more meaningful. In the photos, Dianne looked radiant in a flowing blue floral maxi dress, proudly cradling her growing baby bump as she beamed for the camera.
One touching snap showed the dancer wearing a playful “mum to be” satchel while standing beside her proud parents, with the family home beautifully decorated for the occasion. Another captured the couple smiling in front of a table filled with sweet treats, clearly unable to hide their excitement as they prepare for parenthood.
Adding a light-hearted twist to the celebration, Dianne’s family gave the expectant parents a fun “practice run” — dressing dolls in front of their guests. Dianne appeared completely at ease, holding her doll with confidence, while Joe struggled adorably, much to everyone’s amusement.
Sharing the moments on Instagram, Dianne wrote:
“Our Australian baby shower with the family. Thank you to my gals and Mia for putting so much effort into making it so fun and special.”
Her Strictly co-stars were quick to flood the comments with love. Vito Coppola wrote, “Bellissimi… cannot wait. Everyone is so excited to meet your little boy.” Amy Dowden responded with blue heart emojis, while Nancy Xu added, “I can’t wait to meet our little boy.” Former Strictly winner Ellie Leach simply commented, “So beautiful.”
Earlier this week, Dianne also delighted fans by sharing a relaxed beach moment, where she was seen lifting her top slightly to reveal her bare bump as she strolled along the shore, smiling in the sunshine.
In November, the dancer admitted her bump had well and truly “popped,” joking that getting dressed for Strictly was becoming more of a challenge. Dianne also made history as the first professional dancer to compete on the show while pregnant, before her celebrity partner Stefan Dennis was forced to withdraw due to injury.
Dianne and Joe’s love story began back in 2018 when they were paired together on Strictly Come Dancing. The couple announced their pregnancy in September with a touching video set to Elton John’s Tiny Dancer, revealing a sweet illustration of themselves holding hands with their baby.
As they prepare to welcome their little one, Dianne and Joe’s Australian baby shower offered a beautiful glimpse into this joyful new chapter — filled with laughter, family, and plenty of love. 🌸👶
