Dianne Buswell is a skilled dancer, having previously won the Australian Open and reaching the finals of the Amateur Australian Open on four occasions.

It’s evident that dancing is a family tradition, since she and her brother Andrew claimed the title of Western Australian Open Adult New Vogue champions in both 2008 and 2010.

Dianne didn’t start dancing on Strictly Come Dancing until the year 2017. At that time, she was partnered with Reverend Richard Coles, but they were eliminated during week three. However, in the following year of 2018, she made it to the finals when paired with YouTuber Joe Sugg.

Since their stint on Strictly Come Dancing, Dianne and Joe have been romantically involved, and recently started a shared YouTube channel titled “In The Pan.

Before her stint on Strictly, Dianne had previously appeared on So You Think You Can Dance Australia and Dancing with the Stars Australia.

In last year’s contest, Dianne advanced to the finals alongside her partner Brazier. Their heartfelt performances resonated with both the judges and the audience.

Which Strictly celebrity is Dianne paired with this year?

This year, Dianne is set to hit the dance floor alongside comedian Chris McCausland on Strictly Come Dancing.

Offering a bit of advice for Chris before the upcoming season, Dianne remarked: “People may assume we’re expecting them to become outstanding dancers, and indeed some of them do achieve that level. However, I’d rather see them appreciating and savoring each moment instead.

It’s more important for them to be completely happy, instead of fretting over potential mistakes.
