Joe still floats my boat

Dancer admits work makes it hard for couple to spend time together but has set sights on globetrotting after TV show's tour ends and debut book is released

STRICTLY star Dianne Buswell has admitted she and boyfriend Joe Sugg have been like “passing ships”. Tongues began to wag when

Dianne, 33, spent Christmas and New Year with her family in Australia while Joe, 31, her YouTuber boyfriend of four years, went on holiday to South Africa.

Now she’s on the Strictly Live tour, which stops off in Glasgow from next Friday.

She said: “I ’m on tour at the moment so we’re like passing ships. He came back from holiday and I’ve gone out on tour.

“I got home, unpacked my nice summery outfits, packed my winter outfits and off I went.

“It’s been a busy one but this was really the only time I could fit in going to Australia, so I had to go.

“I loved it because I got to spend Christmas and New Year with my family. But it meant as soon as I got back I was straight in to work again. But it’s all good, I love it.”

The couple met on the Strictly

set when they were partnered together in 2018. Shortly after the show finished,

they confirmed their relationship and have been together since.

The pair live to get he rata home in the Sussex countryside and Dianne revealed the end of Joe’s Strictly stint hasn’t stopped them dancing.

She said: “We still dance together. He fell in love with dancing and it’s something he’s always around because I’m always dancing, showing him what we’ve done or asking what he thinks of a routine.

“But he still likes to do a little dance every now and then.”
