Strictly favourites Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg have officially confirmed the news fans have been waiting for — they are expecting their first baby together.
The much-loved couple shared the heart-warming announcement on Sunday in a joint social-media post that immediately melted the hearts of their followers.
Dianne Buswell showcased her blossoming baby bump in new snaps shared by her boyfriend Joe Sugg
Joe, 34, and Dianne, 36, captioned their video simply:
“Our little baby boy 
we cannot wait to meet you.”
The dancer posed for a playful snap with YouTuber Joe as they both lifted their shirts to show their bellies while going for an evening stroll
In the adorable clip, the pair stand side-by-side behind a wooden easel while painting a mystery artwork to the tune of Elton John’s Tiny Dancer — a nod to their Strictly roots.
As the music builds, they turn the canvas around to reveal three stick figures: one representing Dianne, one Joe, and a tiny child drawn between them — confirming they are welcoming a baby boy in 2026.

Strictly Come Dancing’s official account quickly responded:
“So happy for you both! Huge congratulations from the whole Strictly family.”
Their BBC co-stars rushed to the comments with emotional messages. Amy Dowden led the tributes, writing:
“Still screaming, dancing and celebrating! So so happy for you both! Magical Auntie Ames can’t wait xxxx.”
Karen Hauer added:
“Oh my god!! Congratulations!!! so happy for you both!!”
Joe also shared a photo of Dianne on a shopping trip as she cradled her bump while dressed in a green sleeveless dress
Kevin Clifton commented:
“Omg guys!!!! Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you .”
Johannes Radebe shared:
“Congratulations darling, wonderful news.”
Nikita Kuzmin gushed:
“Best news ever!!! omg congratulations that’s just freaking awesome!!!”

“Awww congratulations guys what wonderful news.”
He captioned the post: ‘Back in the UK fighting off the jet lag and looking back on some highlights of the trip down under…’
Fleur East exclaimed:
“Ahhhh! No way! Congratulations to you both!”
Both Dianne and Joe spent this Christmas Down Under with her parents and she revealed her family organised her shower in a sweet post
And Aljaz Skorjanec added:
“Just the best news!!! HUGE congratulations!! You two are going to be the most EPIC parents ever!”
Even head judge Shirley Ballas joined in, writing:
“Ahhhh congratulations to you both @diannebuswell @joe_sugg such beautiful news.”
The pair famously met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, where they reached the final together. Around the same time, Dianne split from then-boyfriend Anthony Quinlan after being swept off her feet by Joe.
Although they narrowly missed out on the glitterball trophy, they returned for the 2019 Christmas special and were awarded a perfect score by judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli.
Joe asked Dianne to move in with him in 2019, before the couple relocated to a sprawling £3.5 million countryside mansion in 2021.
Now, as they prepare to welcome their baby boy next year, the Strictly stars are stepping into their most exciting chapter yet.

“NO ONE SHOULD BE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS.” Bradley Walsh has reportedly given away every penny of his £2 million bonus and sponsorship earnings — not for publicity, not for praise, but to build 150 housing units and fund 300 emergency shelter beds for people with nowhere to go. Those close to him say the decision was made quietly, without cameras or announcements. “Bradley didn’t see it as charity,” one source revealed. “He saw it as responsibility.” At a time when most stars protect their wealth, Walsh’s gesture has stunned fans — not because of its size, but because of its sincerity.
