Joe Sugg has dropped a major hint that he and girlfriend Dianne Buswell are planning to permanently move to her native Australia.

Dianne's family still live in her homeland and the pair regularly jet across the world to spend time with them, including Dianne's nieces and nephews. When asked whether the couple could move their permanently, Joe hinted that it was a possibility very much on the cards.

"Eventually," he admitted on the Fellas podcast. "Especially this year, the start of the year that we've had, I just can't handle the weather that we have. She's still [got citizenship] but I think you've got to get married first."

The vlogger's comment led to inevitable question of when he might pop the question to Dianne, who he's been dating since 2018.

Joe and Dianne have been dating since meeting on Strictly

In response, Joe laughed: "You sound like my Instagram comments. Whenever I post a picture of me and Dianne, 'when are you getting married?', 'when will you put a ring on it?' – I don't know Brenda, I don't know."

If the pair do end up crossing the world, it would likely mean that Dianne would end up departing Strictly Come Dancing, which is where the pair initially met. However, the dancer could end up competing or judging on the Australian version of the show or deciding to continue with her own YouTube channel.

A move to Australia could see Dianne leave Strictly

Dianne will be back for Strictly's 22nd series, which will also mark its 20th anniversary, however it hasn't been plain sailing for the ballroom competition show in recent months.

Allegations about the treatment of celebrities have led to numerous past stars going public with their experiences and led to the axing of Giovanni Pernice over his teaching methods and Graziano di Prima after it emerged that he "kicked" partner Zara McDermott – a claim he has since refuted.
