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.'

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.'

Strictly's Chris McCausland admits 'I get embarrassed' as he shares struggle with habit
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Dancers often endure a variety of foot injuries, ranging from minor blisters and calluses, to more severe issues; like bunions, stress fractures, and nerve damage. Strictly's Dianne Buswell has even acknowledged that some injuries are self-inflicted. On her Winning Isn't Everything podcast, alongside co-host Chris McCausland, Dianne revealed her occasional habit of biting her toenails, sometimes going too far. Chris shared his own embarrassment about nail-biting, attributing it to being "an anxiety-ridden wreck". Chris joked about his inability to reach his feet with his mouth, unlike Dianne, and highlighted the disproportionate pain that can come from such a small injury: "Has there ever been a smaller injury to a human that causes so much more immobilisation and pain?" (Image: PA) He confessed to a lifelong struggle with nail-biting: "I've bitten and I've picked them since I was a kid, and it drives me insane." During his time on Strictly Come Dancing, Chris tried hard to curb the habit due to self-consciousness: "I get really self-conscious about it, and I get really embarrassed, because they're out on show." Fortunately, he found his stress levels were relatively managed during the competition: 'Weirdly, for something that was so stressful, I was actually comparatively good compared to what I am normally, because I am an anxiety-ridden wreck." (Image: Gareth Cattermole/BAFTA,for BAFTA) Chris characterised himself as having an obsessive personality that is "neurodiverse". "I'm a picker, I'm a fiddler, I'm a biter," he admitted. Dianne shared that, although she also has a tendency to bite her nails, she would frequently "slap Chris's hand away" if she caught him doing the same, as she's aware of how easily one can get hurt. Dental experts caution that nail biting can be detrimental. The persistent pressure and friction can result in chipped, cracked, or worn teeth, and in severe cases, even tooth loss. (Image: BBC/Guy Levy) Furthermore, bacteria can thrive beneath fingernails, so nail biters risk contracting minor infections with each bite. Chris and Dianne share more commonalities beyond their nail-biting habit. They have remained close friends since winning the Glitterball Trophy at the end of Strictly's 22nd series in 2024. It was Dianne's first winning season, and she expresses daily gratitude for being paired with Chris.
