Dianne Buswell reveals baby plans in rare comment about Joe Sugg
Dianne Buswell has given fans a rare glimpse into her relationship with Joe Sugg and shared her hopes of starting a family. The Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer, 36, first met the 33-year-old YouTuber and author when they were paired together on the 16th series of the BBC dance competition in 2018. While they didn't take home the Glitterball trophy, romance soon blossomed between them. After the final, Sugg posted on Instagram: 'I may not have won the glitterball, but I've won something a million times more special.' Now, six years on, Buswell has opened up about their connection and future plans in a new interview. 'When Joe and I met, it wasn't until the show ended that we realised we missed each other's company a lot – our relationship went from there,' she told Prima magazine. 'We always got on, he was so funny to me, and I loved how creative he was. 'We've always wanted kids, it's just about finding the right time. I don't feel worried about taking time out from dancing. I just don't see the point in worrying. When everything aligns, it will happen. I have to have that vision. I like to practise manifestation, I'm quite spiritual.' The couple, who now live together in the countryside, are known for keeping much of their relationship private. But the Australian star said their fame doesn't interfere with everyday life, most of the time. 'Joe and I forget we're famous sometimes – when we're out and about, we'll be like, 'Why are they looking at us? Ah, okay, I remember,'' she said. 'It doesn't feel that difficult to have a relationship in the public eye. We're good at not taking notice of things that are written about us.' She added that the biggest challenge is maintaining boundaries around their home life. 'Sometimes people are obsessed with wanting to find out things, like where we live, so it can be hard in terms of privacy.' Read the full interview in the September issue of Prima, on sale Wednesday July 30.

Dianne Buswell ready to step away from Strictly as she reveals baby plans
Reigning Strictly Come Dancing champion Dianne Buswell shares dreams for the future with her long-term love Joe Sugg and their plans to start a family Dancing is at the centre of everything for Dianne Buswell – it's where she made her name and found the love of her life. But the Strictly Come Dancing professional says she's prepared to waltz away for a while to start a family with partner, podcaster and YouTuber Joe Sugg. The pair met on the 2018 series of the BBC show after being paired together and romance blossomed away from the bright lights and the cameras once their stint had ended. Dianne, 36, has opened up about their family plans as she shares what made her fall for Joe, 33. 'It wasn't until the show ended that we realised we missed each other's company a lot – our relationship went from there,' she explained. 'We always got on, he was so funny to me, and I loved how creative he was. We've always wanted kids, it's just finding the right time. I don't feel worried about taking time out from dancing, I just don't see the point in worrying. When everything aligns, it will happen. I have to have that vision. I like to practise manifestation, I'm quite spiritual.' The couple live in Brighton, where they share a £3.5million mansion. They've long been open about their desire to start a family. Dianne recently had to deny suggestions the pair had got engaged after speculation grew online after she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger. Grilled on Good Morning Britain by Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, she explained how some of her fingers had swollen up after a flight, so she moved rings from her right to her left hand. 'I was taking pictures with my family and I put them online so everyone thought I was engaged,' she recalled. 'I'm not engaged.' Joe may not have got down on bended knee, but their relationship is going from strength to strength, with Joe beginning to enjoy some of Dianne's passions. 'Joe laughs at me because I'm always investing in the latest wellness product," tells Dianne. "It's a big passion. I have an ice bath at home. I can get a bit anxious but cold-water therapy calms me down. I'm so proud of Joe – he never knew about any of this wellness stuff, but he's enjoying it. He loves the ice bath. He does it more than me, to be honest.' Since joining Strictly in 2017, Australian pro dancer Dianne has been putting her body through hours of gruelling rehearsals day after day, so she has to look after herself. 'There's only so much you can give before you need to recharge," says Dianne. "In this line of work, we're giving, giving, giving, because we want people to have the best time, but there comes a point when you need to give yourself time and space. I need moments of quiet and calm.' A self-confessed 'homebody', Dianne loves a night in as much as a showbiz party. 'I'm okay being in my own company. At a party, I'm not the loudest one in the room by any stretch of the imagination.' She shares her home life with fans on social media – she and Joe have built up a huge following through their daily vlogs. Dianne says it's helped show people the 'real' her. 'I always wanted my YouTube channel and the podcast [Winning Isn't Everything] to be as raw as possible,' she tells Prima magazine. 'First thing in the morning, I'll vlog and show the real me, who hasn't been in hours of hair and make-up. It comes with age and becoming more confident in yourself as a person. "When I was younger, I used to be self-conscious and would never step outside unless I had a full face of make-up on. It's no longer about looks, it's about how I feel and what I feel. That's why I'm so honest – if I can help at least one or two people, then I feel like my job's done.' As Strictly's reigning champion after her historic win with blind comedian Chris McCausland, 48, last year, Dianne is preparing to line up with another celebrity for the new series, with the professional dancers rehearsing already ahead of the show starting in September. But she and Chris do the Winning podcast together, and she says he changed her outlook on life – and she doesn't feel as much pressure any more. 'I feel just as excited as any other year, and I've put no expectations on myself,' she insists. 'Last year taught me it's not about perfection. I used to think of winning, winning, winning, but the past few years, it hasn't been about that at all – maybe that comes with age and maturity. 'Chris and I could have left at any point and would have gone thinking we'd won anyway. It doesn't feel like a competition any more. I taught him a lot, but he taught me just as much. "Chris has allowed me to be more of the character that I naturally am. I don't feel pressure to be the world 's best dancer as I get older – you don't need to be a world champion to be a great Strictly professional. It's a mixed bag of stuff, like being able to communicate with someone as a teacher.' She is looking forward to reuniting with friend and fellow pro Amy Dowden, 34, who returned to the show in the last series after breast cancer but had to pull out after a foot injury. Dianne said: 'She's a tough cookie. I've never met anyone who loves dancing so much, she lives and breathes it and for that to be taken away from her for a period was so upsetting. But she is back 100%, thriving and full of life.'

Strictly's Dianne Buswell opens up on her future baby plans with boyfriend Joe Sugg and reveals why she's not worried about taking a break from her career to have children
has opened up on her future baby plans with boyfriend Joe Sugg. The dancer, 36, and her YouTuber partner, 33, struck up a romance when they were paired together during the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018. And after seven years together, Dianne discussed the possibility of starting a family with Joe as she revealed why she's 'not worried' about taking a break from her career to have children. Speaking in a new interview with Prima, the Australian native said of their romance: 'When Joe and I met, it wasn't until the show ended that we realised we missed each other's company a lot – our relationship went from there. We always got on, he was so funny to me, and I loved how creative he was.' On starting a family, she continued: 'We've always wanted kids, it's just finding the right time. I don't feel worried about taking time out from dancing, I just don't see the point in worrying. When everything aligns, it will happen. I have to have that vision. I like to practise manifestation, I'm quite spiritual.' The professional dancer went on to reveal what it's like having a relationship in the public eye. She noted: 'Joe and I forget we're famous sometimes – when we're out and about, we'll be like, "Why are they looking at us? Ah, okay, I remember." It doesn't feel that difficult to have a relationship in the public eye – we're good at not taking notice of things that are written about us.' She added that thing can get 'hard' when it comes to privacy, especially when people are 'obsessed' with finding out personal details about the pair such as their address. It comes after Dianne previously revealed all on her future family plans with her partner Joe amid both their hectic schedules. The flame-haired beauty teased her baby plans in an interview in May as she got involved with a campaign for the children's show Bluey for which she is creating a new dance along YouTube series. She told The Mirror: 'I was always the babysitter for all my little cousins – I've always been a real lover of children. They fascinate me so much.' Speaking of her new series of Bluey Dance alongs she added: 'I always think that in the future, if I was to have my own kids, that they would be able to potentially watch this. 'It plays at the back of my mind and that's pretty cool.' Meanwhile, earlier that month she revealed she's desperate to have children - but admitted the gruelling demands of her showbiz career are delaying her dreams of becoming a mum. The star, who lifted the Glitterball Trophy last year, revealed that time spent with her nieces and nephews over Christmas triggered serious baby fever. The September 2025 issue of Prima is now on sale Dianne told The Sun: 'I would like to have children, 100 per cent. 'Joe and I love kids, and that's definitely something that we would absolutely love. I haven't really thought about how many I would like. It will definitely happen.' The couple, who live in a £3.5million home in Brighton, have been flooded with baby chat recently, but say their hectic schedules are the biggest hurdle. At the time, Dianne was preparing to hit the road for a 30-date UK tour with fellow Strictly dancer Vito Coppola, while also promoting a new podcast with 2023 partner Chris McCausland. The pro dancer admitted juggling motherhood and a performance career would be 'a challenge' but insisted it's something both she and Joe are excited about. She said: 'My job is quite demanding and I love it so much. 'It is a tough one to balance out and think about. It would take a lot of thought, but eventually one day we'll get there, but there is lots happening at the moment. It will happen when it's supposed to.'

Piardi call in Australia-Lions test should be accepted, Erasmus says
July 29 (Reuters) - South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus believes the decision to award the British & Irish Lions a series-winning try in last weekend's 29-26 win, opens new tab over Australia was "touch-and-go" but World Rugby's explanation of the contentious call should be accepted. The Lions won the test with a try from Hugo Keenan in the final seconds but Australia believe a ruling from referee Andrea Piardi at a ruck immediately beforehand was incorrect. Australia coach Joe Schmidt said the call was an error in his post-match press conference, suggesting Jac Morgan's clear-out of Carlo Tizzano was dangerous, and Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh said he would seekg "accountability" from World Rugby over it. But Erasmus, who received a two-month ban from World Rugby for a 62-minute video that was critical of Australian referee Nic Berry after the first Lions test in South Africa in 2021, said he could see both sides of the argument. "I had Australia (winning) by four points in the game, so I lost our internal (coach's competition) on that one," Erasmus told reporters with a smile on Tuesday. "It's such a tough decision. World Rugby has come out to say it was the right decision. It was a very tough call for the referee to make. "If I was Joe, I would be really disappointed, and if I was (Lions coach) Andy (Farrell), I would be really happy. I think it was touch-and-go, so I can understand both sides of what each coach sees. "But World Rugby has ruled on it and that is what everybody has to accept." World Rugby chief Alan Gilpin backed the call from Piardi earlier on Tuesday. "We do share with Joe and the coaching team why the match officials made that decision," he said. "Joe's got a view about what was wrong with that decision and there'll be a debate so that Joe and his players can go into the next test understanding how that game's going to be officiated." South Africa will host Australia in two Rugby Championship tests in Johannesburg and Cape Town next month. Italian Piardi will officiate the defending champion Springboks' final match in the competition against Argentina in London in October.

Rassie unsure if Wallabies will arrive here down under
Rassie Erasmus admits he doesn't know whether the Wallabies will be battle ready, flat or punch drunk as a result of the series against the British & Irish Lions before heading to South Africa for a two-Test series in the Rugby Championships against the Springboks. Series' against the B&I Lions are usually a battle of attrition that also take a significant emotional toll on players. Australia are 2-0 down with a Test to play in Sydney on Saturday, a series defeat that could affect their morale and confidence ahead of the southern hemisphere tournament in which the Boks are defending champions. The Wallabies might also take hope from some decent performances among the defeats. 'They might have three injuries in one position and then they might be in trouble. But that's thinking negatively,' the Bok coach said. 'There will be more energy because Joe [Schmidt, the head coach] is stepping down and Les Kiss is taking over and I think Les is touring. We know it will be a really competitive Wallabies team coming to South Africa.'
