Dianne Buswell is embracing motherhood in style — and fans can’t get enough. The Strictly Come Dancing star, 36, turned heads this week after sharing a series of sun-soaked snaps from her Australian getaway, proudly showing off her blossoming baby bump in a sleek black swimsuit.
Expecting her first child, a baby boy, with YouTuber-turned-presenter Joe Sugg, 34, Dianne jetted back to her homeland to spend the festive period surrounded by family. The heartfelt photos captured tender moments from the trip, including her nephew sweetly planting kisses on her bump, romantic sunset views with Joe, and sightseeing adventures around Perth, including a tour through the iconic Kings Park.
Fans were quick to shower the dancer with love, flooding the comments with messages of admiration. “You look so happy and content,” one follower wrote, while another added, “Australia looks amazing on you — what a beautiful time with your family.”
The couple’s trip Down Under also coincided with a very special celebration — Dianne’s Australian baby shower. Organised by her family, the event was filled with joy and thoughtful details. Dianne looked radiant in a flowing blue floral maxi dress, complete with a “mum-to-be” sash, as she posed proudly alongside her parents, Rina and Mark, in a beautifully decorated home. A table overflowing with sweet treats completed the heart-warming scene.
Sharing the moment on Instagram, Dianne wrote: “Our Australian baby shower with the family. Thank you to my gals and Mia for putting so much effort in to make it so fun and special.”
The pregnancy marks another milestone in Dianne’s history-making Strictly career — she became the first professional dancer on the show to compete while pregnant, before her partner was forced to withdraw due to injury.
Dianne and Joe’s love story began back in 2018 when they were paired together on the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing, and the couple have been inseparable ever since. They announced their pregnancy in September with a creative video set to Elton John’s Tiny Dancer, revealing a charming sketch of two stick figures — one with Dianne’s signature flaming red hair — holding hands with a baby.
Now, as they prepare to welcome their first child, Dianne and Joe appear happier than ever — soaking up sunshine, family time, and the excitement of the new chapter ahead.
