Dianne Buswell replied to a devoted Strictly fan on social media on Wednesday after they shared their opinion on her and dance partner Bobby Brazier's most recent performance.
Re-posting a screenshot of their comment, which was shared on that evening's episode of It Takes Two, the glamorous redhead was quick to respond to the viewer's opinion.
They said, in a comment read out by co-host Janette Manrara: "I absolutely LOVED this! Not sure what the judges saw but I thought this flowed [amazingly] and had so much passion!! For a complete novice to complete this after just four days is phenomenal!"
Dianne responded with a red heart emoji as well as the caption: "It's the truth tho!!"
The dance professional and her celebrity partner have sparked rumours about their relationship over the last few weeks, especially since their Argentine Tango on Saturday night, which saw some viewers convinced the pair almost kissed at the end of the routine.

"There's nothing untoward going on here, it's just the dancing," said the journalist, prompting Dianne, 34, to confirm that there's no romantic connection between herself and Bobby. "Exactly, it is," the dancer said. "I think the thing that I love so much about dancing is being able to tell a story. It's like acting, isn't it?" she asked.

One person wrote on social media. "Isn't dancing about telling a story and acting? And that's exactly what they're doing and must be doing it extremely well if you're reading more into it."

Dianne and Bobby have clearly formed a close bond over the past few weeks, and have been there for each other through the highs and lows of the competition.

Dianne added: "It was really difficult. I pushed you musically. That song is not easy to hear and you worked so hard to be able to hear the music. But he's just been a massive rock this week, so thank you," she added, looking visibly teary.
