Professional dancer Dianne Buswell, known for winning Strictly Come Dancing last season with Chris McCausland, has stirred up speculation about her engagement with her longtime partner Joe Sugg. Fans believe she dropped a subtle hint suggesting a possible engagement on social media.
The Strictly star and YouTube sensation Joe Sugg first met when they were paired up on the dance show in 2018. Although rumors about their relationship circulated during their time on the program, they only confirmed their status after finishing as runners-up in the finale. Since then, they have shared glimpses of their life together on various social media platforms.
Their shared moments have included visits to Australia to meet Dianne’s family, spending time with Joe’s sister Zoe Sugg (also a YouTube star) and her children, and dancing together in video clips. Recently, the couple disclosed their move to a luxurious £3.5 million mansion in West Sussex in 2023, citing issues with their previous residence that required extensive renovations over two and a half years.
Despite their joint property ownership, fans are eagerly anticipating news of a possible wedding, especially as both Dianne and Joe have hinted at their desire to have children in the near future. Addressing engagement rumors, Dianne posted a TikTok video that sparked further speculation among fans.
In the video, Dianne is seen in a car, looking into the camera as music plays in the background. Lyrics from the song “Cotton Eye’d Joe” are heard, with Dianne notably showcasing her bare left hand, devoid of any engagement or wedding rings. Fans of Strictly will recognize the song as the one Joe and Dianne danced to during their first performance together, a lively Charleston.
The video’s comments section quickly filled with speculation, with many interpreting the clip as a playful hint for Joe to consider a proposal. Fans jokingly nudged Joe in the comments, prompting varied reactions from viewers, with some praising Dianne’s post as “iconic.” One follower even suggested that the video might hint at a secret wedding, to which Dianne responded playfully with a winking emoji.
