Dianne Buswell made a joyous appearance in the 20th anniversary Strictly Come Dancing special after lifting the Glitterball with her dance partner, Chris McCausland in an emotional final last week. 

Reflecting on her Strictly win, the Australian dancer joined her boyfriend Joe Sugg for an interview aired on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing: 20 Fabulous Years on Saturday night. 

The beloved red-haired professional dancer, who has been part of the Strictly team since 2017, also met the love of her life on the show.

Dianne made it to the final with YouTube star Joe in 2018, and while the pair weren't crowned champions, they did 'win' each other's hearts, with Joe revealing after the final episode of their season aired: "I may not have won the glitter ball, but I've won something a million times more special."

Having been together for six years and purchased a £3.5 million Sussex home together, fans often probe the couple about their plans for the future, with the pair regularly quizzed on their social media about wedding bells and talks of starting a family together.

Speaking about the possibility of having children for the first time, Joe said in the Strictly 20th anniversary special: "The Quickstep at Blackpool was my favourite dance for many reasons. I had my family come up to watch, more importantly my nan who danced there when she was younger. 

"That'll be the sort of video clip we show our great, great grandchildren," Joe mused, as Dianne beamed at him and agreed: "Yes!"

In an exclusive interview with HELLO! in 2021, Dianne mused: "I'm quite an unorganised person actually, Joe and I don't really talk about that kind of thing [marriage]. We're both so relaxed so we just play it by ear. We really enjoy each other's company so much and whatever happens, happens."
