Joe could be seen sitting in casual wear on a bench, while bending down to feed them. He left his hand open with some birdfeed in his palm, and he doted on them as they came over to him. Dianne penned as the caption: 'He would make the best twin dad.' The Strictly star used a moving soundtrack as the backdrop to the video, and fans couldn't help but agree with her. One person said: 'So wholesome a lovely person, a true gentleman,' and a second echoed: 'aww the little smile on his face. He's so proud!' A third person wrote: 'Are they hinting at something,' and someone else wrote: 'This has to be the cutest thing.' It comes after Dianne's exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, where she said: '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.' Dianne Buswell Opens Up About Dreams of Motherhood After Strictly Win Dianne, 35, who won the contest last year partnering comedian Chris McCausland, says it was spending Christmas with family at the couple's home in Brighton that led to discussions about parenthood. The pair are already auntie and uncle to their siblings' children. Dianne has a brother, Andrew, who is also a dancer, and Joe's sister Zoella is a media personality. Dianne said: 'Joe's got two nieces who I also class as my nieces, and then I have another two nieces and two nephews in Australia, and my oldest niece is 15. 'I am a big fan of my little nieces and nephews. I love kids, I love working with them and being around them. Sometimes, I'm a big kid at heart myself. I think it helps when you can get down to their level. I'm very lucky.' But Dianne said one of her biggest challenges may just be finding the right time. She and fellow Strictly pro Vito Coppola have just announced a 30-date tour, Red Hot And Ready, starting next month. And she and Strictly winner Chris — the programme's first blind contestant — have just launched their own podcast, Winning Isn't Everything. On the prospect of motherhood, Dianne said: 'It is quite tough because 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 will get there, but there is lots happening at the moment. It will happen when it's supposed to.'

Strictly's Dianne Buswell addresses leaving show with sights set on judge role
Popular Strictly professional dancers Dianne Buswell and Vito Coppola talk about joining forces for a new tour, their close relationship and how the hit BBC show transformed their lives They're both members of that exclusive band who have known the thrill of holding aloft the winning Strictl y Glitterball Trophy: Italian pro Vito Coppol a with Ellie Leach in 2023, and Australian star Dianne Buswell with comedian Chris McCausland last year. But it took them a couple of years to come up with what looks like a no-brainer as this summer – they will perform 40 shows together in new touring production Red Hot And Ready. Opening in Shrewsbury on 11 June and ending in Eastbourne on 26 July, with rehearsals starting just two days later for the next series of Strictly, they talk exclusively to OK! about how the BBC show has changed their lives, what happened when Dianne changed her hair colour and the dish Vito would rustle up if he invited you to supper. Hi, both! Can you tell us about your Red Hot And Ready show? Dianne: There'll be plenty of dancing, of course, and singing. But, more than that, you'll get to meet Vito and me properly. There's no time on Strictly for our full personalities to come across. I love comedy, Vito loves cooking, so prepare yourself for a feast, with lots of laughs thrown in. Who else is in the show? Dianne: Six other dancers, two vocalists and a percussionist. I'm not exaggerating when I say I find every one inspiring. The choreography is by Strictly's Jason Gilkison, who is the god of the dance world. Who decided to put you and Vito together? Dianne: From the moment we met, Vito and I clicked. He's Italian, as is my mum's side of the family. He immediately reminded me of one of my cousins and my crazy uncle. That's why I get on with him so well. I can be myself with him. Vito, describe your relationship with Dianne... Vito: We're like brother and sister. When I met her the first time, it felt like I'd known her forever. She's one of the funniest people I know. Two summers ago, I was in her home, baking. We started dancing round the kitchen and that's when we came up with the idea of putting together a show. We decided we wanted it to be like '50 Shades of Dianne and Vito'. Has Strictly changed your lives? Dianne: Oh, 100%. It's through the show I met my life partner Joe [Sugg]. It put my name on the map and taught me so much about dance. Vito: I left home when I was young to dance competitively around the world. I didn't feel I belonged anywhere until I reached the UK and joined Strictly. It felt as though I'd come home, I'd found my bubble. In my first year, 2022, my celebrity partner was Fleur East and she's one of my favourite human beings. People think celebs learn from us – they do – but we pros also learn a lot from them. Did you know that you had picked a winner with Ellie Leach? Vito: My name for her was Lulu because her second name is Louise. To begin with, she didn't believe in herself. She thought we would be eliminated on week one. Every week, right up to the final, she'd cry at least one day. But I always reassured her that I would get the best out of her. Once I'd won her trust, she slowly came to believe that she was capable. The week of the paso doble was a turning point. She'd become a strong, independent woman. Lifting the Glitterball must have been a moment… Vito: Winning is not everything but it's very nice when it happens! I felt the same when I won Celebrity MasterChef. The way I approached that was by imagining I was cooking for my family: this producer was my auntie, this production assistant was my cousin, the judges were my parents and so on. As a result, I never felt alone cooking. I gave my winner's medal to my grandfather – he was the only person I'd told that I'd entered the competition. What's the special meal you would cook for Dianne and Joe? Vito: Seafood pasta and a rum baba sponge, both of which I cooked in the final of Celebrity MasterChef. Dianne, you joined Strictly in 2017 and recently celebrated your 36th birthday. Do you look ahead? Dianne: I take it as it comes. Even if I wasn't dancing on it, I'd love to be on the judging panel or connected with the show in some way. It's what brought me to the UK from Australia in the first place. Strictly is my family, it's given me so much. Look at Karen [Hauer]. She's 43, our longest-serving professional, and still going strong. When you were told you'd be paired with blind comedian Chris McCausland, were you concerned? Dianne: Not concerned, no. But I was curious because I'd never taught anyone who was even visually impaired. To be honest, I didn't think we'd make it that far, never mind win. How did you tackle the obvious obstacle of him not being able to see? Dianne: By completely changing my teaching methods. Everything I'd ever learnt and taught was visual. I had to choreograph routines so he'd always know where I was. It meant thinking outside the box. Trust was extremely important. I'm not going to lie, it was a real challenge. Were you whispering instructions in his ear? Dianne: In the rehearsal rooms, yes. But then we realised he couldn't hear what I was saying on the dance floor, the music was so loud. So, we developed a method where I'd press certain parts of his body to communicate what I wanted him to do. It was the hardest but most rewarding thing I've ever done. Has it forged a lifelong friendship? Dianne: Absolutely. We've created a weekly podcast, Winning Isn't Everything. Chris couldn't come on the Strictly live tour because he was committed to his stand-up tour. I went to one of his shows and he was brilliant. It was nice to see him in his natural habitat. Will Joe be coming to see you on your new tour? Dianne: Of course! And he's a big fan of Vito's who's been over to our house on a number of occasions and cooked for us, too. Your trademark is your flame-coloured hair. Is it true you were once a hairdresser? Dianne: Oh, hairdressing has been a lifelong passion of mine. I started my apprenticeship aged 15 and went on to have my own salon in Australia. Dancing took over but, wherever I go, I take my scissors with me. Maybe I should suggest a haircut to Vito... Has your hair always been dyed red? Dianne: I've had so many different colours – blonde, blue black, jet black, brown, you name it – although red has been a staple for quite a while. I did change it to orange a few years back and got all these messages saying it wasn't right and I should change it back to red immediately. People got quite angry at me!

Joe and I want to have kids – but my job is so demanding, says Strictly's Dianne Buswell, 35, who admits she's broody
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE waltzed off with the Strictly Glitterball trophy last year – but now Dianne Buswell is setting her sights on the even bigger prize and challenge of motherhood. The Australian pro dancer, who met her partner Joe Sugg when he competed in the BBC One show in 2018, says she has recently become broody after spending time with their nieces and nephews. 4 Strictly pro Dianne Buswell is feeling broody Credit: Camera Press 4 Dianne met partner Joe Sugg when he competed on Strictly in 2018 Credit: Instagram In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, she said: 'I would like to have children, 100 per cent.

Dianne, 35, who won the contest last year partnering comedian Chris McCausland, says it was spending Christmas with family at the couple's home in Brighton that led to discussions about parenthood. The pair are already auntie and uncle to their siblings' children. Dianne has a brother, Andrew, who is also a dancer, and Joe's sister Zoella is a media personality.

I think it helps when you can get down to their level. I'm very lucky.' 'Life-changing' But Dianne said one of her biggest challenges may just be finding the right time. She and fellow Strictly pro Vito Coppola have just announced a 30-date tour, Red Hot And Ready, starting next month. And she and Strictly winner Chris — the programme's first blind contestant — have just launched their own podcast, Winning Isn't Everything. Strictly's Dianne Buswell stuns in black swimsuit on the beach as she enjoys Christmas with Joe Sugg and her poorly dad On the prospect of motherhood, Dianne said: 'It is quite tough because 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 will get there, but there is lots happening at the moment. It will happen when it's supposed to.' Both she and YouTuber Joe, 33, have already had hugely successful careers. Dianne toured with hit show Burn The Floor in 2011, and also appeared on So You Think You Can Dance Australia. In 2015, she starred in Australia's version of Strictly and landed the role in the UK show in 2017. As well as dancing, she and Joe are one of social media's highest- earning couples in the UK, with a reported combined fortune of £8.8million. Dianne makes sure she stays in the best shape possible for the challenges that face her with a strict diet, exercise and recovery routine. She learned a lot about her health from appearing in reality TV show Freeze The Fear With Wim Hof in April 2022. It consisted of performing tasks in sub-zero temperatures, and Dianne said the experience with the Dutch motivational speaker and extreme athlete — also known as The Iceman — was life-changing, and she now uses the breathing methods that were shown to her to deal with anxiety. She explained: 'I've delved into a lot of things to prolong my body. I don't want to use the word strict, because I don't have to do this, but I have things in place which are longevity for my body. For instance, I invested in an infrared sauna for myself. 'I've got an ice bath and a Pilates Reformer [exercise machine]. I have all these different things that I do, and I look after what I eat.' 'Achieved so much' Dianne, who had the equipment installed in the £3.5million, five- bedroom home the couple bought in 2022, said: 'I'm really invested, and I know it sounds quite extreme, but at the same time my body is my tool. 'It's my work and it's what I use every single day, so I find it an investment for my future and my body.' Dianne has a sauna and ice bath five days a week and said: 'I'll also stretch when I'm in the sauna, so my body is having a good stretch, too. 4 Dianne won Strictly last year partnering comedian Chris McCausland Credit: PA 'I'm very into all that kind of stuff. I love wellness, and I love feeling good, and I love that my body still feels like it did when I was 28 — I genuinely do. 'Touch wood, it's continuing on that path, but I think that's just because I'm very conscious about what I put into my body, and what I'm doing for my recovery. 'That's just as important as keeping the muscles maintained, and knowing what your body works well with, because everybody is so different.' The Glitterball is in my office so when I'm working it can remind me that hard work can pay off and I've already achieved so much Dianne Dianne, who has also been partnered with Max George, Tyler West and Bobby Brazier in Strictly, is hoping to return to the show again this year — an ambition that is already displayed on her office wall. She said: 'I like to surround myself in my office with lots of things that inspire me. 'I have a vision board, and I have things that I aspire to do, but also things that I am really proud of. 'Real honour' 'You can be working on something, and sometimes things don't work out, and you can get into a bit of a rut. 'But if you look around and see all the things you've already achieved, it makes it so much better. 'The Glitterball is in my office so when I'm working it can remind me that hard work can pay off and I've already achieved so much. I'm so proud of it.' Dianne adores her job so much that she still finds it 'exciting' to go to work every day. 4 Dianne says it was spending Christmas with family that led to discussions with Joe about parenthood, pictured on stage with dancer partner Chris Credit: PA She said: 'It doesn't feel like a hard slog. Yes, of course, when you're training you can become a bit tired because it is every day, especially if you make it all the way to the final. And obviously, last year Chris and I worked very hard to achieve what we did, but it was never a real drag. 'It was a real honour and a good experience.' Strictly is also where she met her dance touring partner, Vito. She said: 'We met on the show, but my mum's side of the family are Italian, and when I met Vito he felt like one of my cousins. 'That's the vibe Vito and I have, and I adore him. He's like either my crazy uncle or my crazy cousin. We've always got along, from day one.' Dianne is grateful for all the show has done for her — including meeting Joe, the man who she hopes will one day become the father of her baby. She said: 'It blows my mind. I'm just a girl from Bunbury in Western Australia who loved and had a massive passion for dance. 'Now it's brought me over to the UK on the biggest TV show that they have, so it's a real pinch-me moment.'
