Strictly pro Dianne Buswell sparks split fears with Joe Sugg as she fights back tears and calls Bobby Brazier her ‘rock’

STRICTLY Come Dancing pro Dianne Buswell sparked fears she has split with boyfriend with her emotional appearance tonight.

The flame haired Aussie, 34, fought back tears and said celebrity partner Bobby Brazier had been her ‘rock’ this week.

It came after the pair performed the tango to close the show and were waiting for their scores while chatting to Claudia Winkleman.

First Bobby appeared upset after the performance, despite positive feedback from the judges.

Asked how it was for him, Bobby said: “Just emotional. It’s been so so emotional all week.”

Dianne then later added: “He has just been a massive rock this week, so thank you.”

Her voice then broke and her eyes filled with tears and she leaned into Bobby’s chest and hugged him.

Claudia then placed a comforting hand on Dianne’s shoulders, while fans watching at home were concerned about why the pro seemed so emotional.

Some even questioned whether there were problems in her relationship with Joe Sugg, who she fell in love with when he competed on the show back in 2018.

“Bobby has been a rock this week…. I hope no issue with Dianne and Joe Sugg. This show really does test relationships,” one viewer wrote on X, formerly twitter.

“Has something happened this week?” asked a second.

“Is Dianne okay?” said a concerned third.

“Definitely don’t think it was about the dance,” weighed in a fourth.

Another, meanwhile, thought the pair were reacting to some bad news off screen.

They wrote: “Bobby and Dianne were a strange one tonight, usually love watching them dance, but the energy was just off. They both looked so sad and Dianne kept calling Bobby her rock… I hope whatever they’re going through, it gets better soon.”

It comes as Bobby admitted he is “falling in love” with his pro partner.

He told at the Pride of Britain Awards last week: “I could speak about Dianne all day. She’s just a diamond – you know what, I’m falling in love with her. She’s just great. I feel very lucky.”
