DANCING FEAT 'I WANT TO BE WITH JOE FOREVER'

PROFESSIONAL DANCER DIANNE BUSWELL ON HER RELATIONSHIP WITH JOE SUGG, HOPES FOR MARRIAGE AND HER FUTURE ON STRICTLY

The Strictly curse has quite a reputation, but there have been some real love stories to come out of it. Dianne Buswell and her partner Joe Sugg are proof that things definitely can work off the dance floor!

The couple met four years ago when they were partnered on the BBC One show, coming second to Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton – another Strictly love story. And when we catch up with Dianne, 33, it’s clear her relationship with Joe is still going from strength to strength.

Describing him as “one of a kind”, she gushes, “Joe’s like my little rock. He’s so supportive – we’re each other’s rock. He’s so busy with his work and I’m so busy with mine, but when we’re finally together after our crazy days, it’s so lovely.”

And Dianne says that despite their hectic work schedules, they always make time for each other. “Even though sometimes it might be weeks when we’re apart because of me touring or him working, we both have so much respect for each other’s jobs that it’s so easy and so chilled,” she says. “He’s amazing, I couldn’t do it without him, and vice versa.”

So how do they keep their spark alive? It’s all down to date nights, Dianne tells us. “We make sure our times together are always scheduled, so that we know when we’ll be together again,” she says. “He always says absence makes the heart grow fonder – and it really does.”
