Strictly Come Dancing’s Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg have revealed that they’ve already picked the name for their unborn baby boy. The pair announced earlier this year that Dianne is pregnant with their first child – making her the first pregnant dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.

In a recent video, the Aussie dancer shared that announcing her pregnancy made her the “most nervous” she’d ever been. The couple, who have been together since they met on the hit BBC show in 2018, now regularly post videos to YouTube about their lives.

In a video posted on 27 October, they shared that they were the most nervous to share the news with their families, and that sharing it with their fans caused less anxiety. Answering fans questions, Dianne opened up about telling her parents. She said: “It was the most nervous I’d ever been. I was so nervous to tell people, I don’t know why. I almost put it off.”

Joe agreed that telling family was nerve-wracking. “I think it was because it was such a big life moment,” he said. Talking to the camera, he continued: “I was way more nervous to tell friends and family than I was to tell you lot.” Dianne added that her father thought they were joking and that Joe cried every time they told someone new.

The couple also shared in the video that they’ve already picked out a name for the baby boy, with Joe saying: “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-,” he said, with Dianne adding: “Apple or pear. It’s kind of like Joe, isn’t it? Cute when you’re little, you can call yourself Joseph when you’re older.”

Joe continued: “Or it could be a good sportsperson name. I’ve purposefully not said it out lout at all whereas Diane keeps calling him by that name. I do feel like between now and our due date, which is another thing I don’t think we’re going to share, I worry that we might end up revealing it by accident. From now on, he’s called Derek.”

In September, Dianne and Joe shared their baby news in a sweet video posted to Instagram. In it, they painted a picture and then turned the paper around to show the couple as stick people, along with a stick baby in the middle. They captioned the post: “Our little baby boy, we cannot wait to meet you.”

Later in their video, they shared that it was interesting that their son will be able to watch the moment his parents met. Dianne and Joe first met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 when they were partnered together on the hit BBC show.

The duo made it to the finale of the show, but lost out to Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton, who are also in a relationship and have a child together.

Because Dianne has continued to be a pro dancer on the show and was partnered with fellow Aussie Stefan Dennis this year, she is the first pregnant dancer to compete on the show.

Some fans were concerned about her continuing to dance while pregnant but she has hit back at those critics. She posted a video to Instagram over her doing a cartwheel.

Over the top, she wrote: “For all those people saying they can’t watch a pregnant girl dance! I just can’t help it when I hear the beat.”

A fan wrote in the comments: “I looove this! I think it’s so cool to see you still dancing!” Meanwhile, fellow dancer Kai Widdrington commented: “Tell ’em di.”

Unfortunately, Stefan had to pull out of the show following an injury, marking the end for Dianne’s Strictly journey this series as well. Though she continues to be seen dancing in pro numbers during the results show, those dances were filmed prior to the series beginning.
