After a year of Strictly Come Dancing being hit by a number of different scandals, the show finally has some lovely news to share!

Last year's glitterball winner, professional dancer Dianne Buswell, has announced that she and her long-term partner Joe Sugg are expecting their first child together.

The couple met when they were partnered on the BBC show in 2018 and are now set to become parents to a baby boy in 2026.

Dianne and Joe shared the pregnancy news with a sweet video where they set up an easel with a blank canvas and pretended to paint a picture together.

However, when they turned the painting around to show the camera, there were three stick figures representing Joe and Dianne holding hands with their future son.

Joe captioned the clip: 'Our little baby boy, we cannot wait to meet you'.

Dianne finally lifted the Strictly glitterball for the first time in December 2024, with fellow champion Chris McCausland, who made history as the show's first-ever blind contestant.

This year, Dianne will become the first ever Strictly professional dancer to compete on the show while pregnant as she will compete in the 2025 series of Strictly - which returns to our screens next week, on Saturday, September 20.

Congratulations Dianne and Joe!
