It has been almost a year since Dianne confirmed her relationship with Joe, after the pair reached the final of Strictly alongside Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton, plus Faye Tozer and Giovanni Pernice. The couple's relationship appears to have gone from strength-to-strength in the past 12 months, with Joe asking Dianne to move in with him in August, and supporting his girlfriend after her shock exit from Strictly in October. The pair will be back on our screens on Christmas Day, after reuniting on the dancefloor for the Strictly Christmas special.
