Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has rubbished claims that she has broken up with Joe Sugg.

The two were paired together on the 2018 series of the BBC dancing show, and have been a real-life couple ever since.

However, fans have expressed fears over their relationship status recently after Dianne was spotted heading back to her native Australia without Joe – plus the fact that they haven’t been seen together on social media for a while.

Dianne has now reassured those worrying, telling The Sun: "It comes from a good place, but I go home and see my family and don't even worry about anything that's being said.

"I try not to look because it's very rare I get to see my family so I want to go and make the most of it and that's what I did.”

She then said of her upcoming tour: "Joe's coming to a few of the shows, but he's really busy with work as well doing all his stuff. Whenever he can he'll come to watch."

Meanwhile, last month Dianne unveiled a change to her trademark red hair, sharing a new "candy cane" look on social media that added a streak of white.

"Thank god my hairdresser @vickydemetriouhair has done such a fab job of my hair that it takes the attention away from the hand that has clearly not been washed after a fake tan application another amazing set of @greatlengthsuk this time we popped some blonde/pale pink bits around the face line," she said at the time.

The most recent series of Strictly saw Dianne paired with Tyler West, where the two ended up placing eighth overall.

Praising Tyler after their elimination, Dianne said on social media: "Between your smile, presence and torch collection, my gosh you lit up the room and dance floor. I am forever grateful for being the lucky girl to be picked to dance with you."

Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off show Strictly: It Takes Two will air on weeknights later this year on BBC Two. Both shows also stream on BBC iPlayer.
