Dianne Buswell seemed cheerful as she left the Strictly Come Dancing studios on Thursday night after a long day of rehearsals – nearly eleven and a half hours long!
The 36-year-old professional dancer, who is expecting a baby boy with her boyfriend Joe Sugg, 34, looked happy as she left the studio with her friend and fellow dancer, Vito Coppola, 32.
The celebrity arrived at 10am and didn’t leave until 9:21pm. As she headed out for the evening, she was wearing a warm outfit consisting of a grey corduroy shirt over a black satin top and a white T-shirt.
She completed her outfit with black joggers and comfortable off-white sneakers, and was carrying a bag from Superdrug.
Vito looked relaxed and comfortable in a simple outfit: a black T-shirt, grey shorts, white sports socks, and Adidas sneakers.
Reports of the professional dancer being seen out come shortly after people close to the situation expressed worry for Dianne’s health, especially considering the demanding ten-hour rehearsals for Strictly – all following her recent happy news about expecting a baby.
Dianne is prioritizing her well-being and taking things slowly, with frequent breaks, as she makes history as the first professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing to compete while pregnant.
A source revealed to the Daily Mail that Strictly Come Dancing has safety and well-being support systems in place for all those involved in the show.
In all my sessions, I always make sure we build in plenty of breaks and time to warm up and cool down – it’s so important! This rehearsal, like all the best ones, was led by Dianne, and she really focused on what felt comfortable and natural for her and her dance partner. It’s all about working at their speed and ensuring they feel confident and relaxed.
The Sun reported that Diane had a very long, ten-hour rehearsal for Strictly Come Dancing, but people familiar with the situation say that wasn’t accurate.
Jowita Przystal and Pete Wicks, who were dance partners and previously rumored to be dating, were also seen leaving the studios separately on Thursday.
Just recently, many people believed that the former star of “The Only Way Is Essex,” age 36, and the 31-year-old professional dancer were dating. This came after Pete posted several warm photos from their time on “Strictly Come Dancing” to Instagram.
However, the couple exited the studio at different times. Jowita opted for a relaxed look, wearing a black sweater under a black denim jacket with visible stitching.
She completed her outfit with wide-leg black pants and white sneakers, and carried a Stanley water bottle.
Pete was wearing a fashionable mustard yellow suede bomber jacket with a navy shirt and faded blue jeans.
He looked engrossed in his phone as he departed, carrying his essentials in a large weekend bag.
Diane announced she’s pregnant just a week before the show’s new season begins. The season will air until shortly before Christmas.
In 2014, professional dancer Erin Boag announced she was leaving Strictly Come Dancing after discovering she was pregnant.
She recently shared the reason she couldn’t participate in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing with The Mirror. She explained that she was pregnant with her first child with her husband, Peter O’Dowd, and that’s why she declined the offer.
She happily announced that she is pregnant, expressing relief at finally being able to share the news after keeping it a secret for several months.
When she left the show, she was one of just three dancers who had been on all ten seasons since it began in 2002.
Dianne shared her happy news about her pregnancy on her Instagram on Sunday.
To announce their pregnancy, the couple created a heartwarming video set to Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer.” They playfully pretended to paint a picture together on an easel, adding some dramatic flair to the reveal.
They held up the canvas for the camera, and it showed a simple drawing of two stick figures – one with bright red hair like Dianne’s – holding hands with a baby.
The couple shared that they’re expecting their first child in 2026, and it’s a boy!
Joe captioned the clip: ‘Our little baby boy ❤️ we cannot wait to meet you’.
Oh my gosh, everyone is *so* happy for them! Their social media is just exploding with congratulations, and it’s adorable! All their *Strictly* friends are sending the sweetest messages, leading the charge of well-wishes – it’s just everything I hoped for, honestly! I’m seriously living for this moment!
Joe and Dianne became a couple after being partnered together on the sixteenth season of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.
Dianne has strongly suggested she and her partner are planning to have a baby, recently sharing in May that she really wants to become a mother.
The celebrity, who won the dance competition with her partner Chris McCausland last year, shared that the pressures of her work have delayed their plans to start a family.
She shared with The Sun that she definitely wants to have children someday. She and her partner, Joe, both love kids and are eager to start a family, though she hasn’t decided exactly how many children she’d like. She feels confident it will happen.
