Joe Sugg shuts down engagement rumours to Strictly pro girlfriend Dianne Buswell
JOE Sugg has hit back at fans after getting fed up with engagement speculation.
The YouTuber, who has been dating Strictly professional Dianne Buswell for six years, has dismissed proposal plans.
Joe, 32, met Dianne, 34, on the BBC dance competition in 2018 and the pair have gone from strength to strength.
But the star admitted that he's feeling the pressure to pop the question from fans.
Speaking on The Useless Hotline Podcast, he said: "It's a question they ask every single time, and it gets to a point where I'm a bit like, 'why is it so important?'"
Dianne also shared her thoughts on marriage, brushing off any urgency.

"We haven't really spoken about it, so if it happens, great. If not, we're happy with how things are going," she told The Mirror.
Fans went into meltdown after the couple posted a very romantic snap together.
It sparked speculation that they had secretly got engaged.
Joe flew to Western Australia to spend time with Dianne and her family in December.

He later shared a sweet photo of the pair, where they were looking lovingly into each others eyes during a sunset stroll along the beach.
He captioned the post: "As the sun sets on another year, thank you to everyone that has made this year special to me. “cya next year!1 tehehe” ."
He added: "Also, look how beautiful @diannebuswell looks."
One fan remarked: "What would of been perfect with a ring added to it."
Another user noted: "Nice place for an engagement... just saying ."
"Put a ring on it Joe," stated a third.
While marriage isn't on the couple's radar, having children is.
Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: "I think definitely at one point we'll have children."
"It's something we'd both love, but we don't know when just yet. We always say our kids are going to watch YouTube videos of us dancing one day, and that's so cool!"
The pair sparked split rumours after Dianne went to visit family in Australia at Christmas without Joe.
“It makes me laugh that people think I wouldn’t go and see my family without Joe. It blows my mind," she said.
As well as her solo venture, the couple weren't seen together on social media for three-months.

Dianne, who recently revealed that her dad is fighting cancer, said that it is "rare" that she gets to see her family, so she wanted to make the most of it.
