Dianne and Joe spent the festive season Down Under, and shared many beautiful photos of their time with the Buswell family. The trip marked a huge milestone for the happy couple, who have been dating since 2018. Sharing their excitement on social media at the time, Dianne posted a sweet image of herself and Joe snuggled up, writing on Instagram: "Let the adventures begin." Joe then shared a boomerang on his Stories of Dianne wheeling their suitcases into the airport, captioning the snap: "And we're off!"
In March, the pair announced that they had been forced to postpone their tour in light of the coronavirus pandemic. They had been due to hit the road in March and April for 20 performances across the country, but both took to Instagram last month to confirm that the shows would be put on hold.
Dianne, 30, and Joe, 28, told fans: "We have been working really hard on the show and it is going to be great, which makes this extra hard. Rescheduling shows is the last thing we want to do, but these are strange times and we have to keep everyone safe."
