Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell is currently in Australia after she and boyfriend Joe Sugg jetted off to the Southern Hemisphere country following a trip to South Africa
Dianne Buswell has said a sweet yet hilarious farewell to her beau Joe Sugg as they part ways after a ‘magical’ escapade in South Africa.
Earlier this month, Dianne jetted off for some downtime post-her latest Strictly affair. Following an emotional victory on BBC One’s dance floor alongside comedian Chris McCausland in the 2024 series, she took time out over Christmas and New Year with Joe and her family, who flew in from Australia. .
Kicking off 2025 with a bang, she was back dazzling audiences during the Strictly live tour. Once the dazzling performances wrapped up, it was straight onto a plane with Joe to attend a pal’s wedding in South Africa. Before the grand celebration, they got to soak in the stunning vistas.
Taking to social media, Dianne shared glimpses of an early morning safari where followers caught a sunrise spectacular over the Western Cape, leading up to encounters with nature’s giants, including a majestic elephant sighting. The virtual safari continued, featuring giraffes and rhinos, enchanting followers with posts captioned: “The most magical experience #safari #southafrica @sanbonasafari #sanbonawildlifereserve.”, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Dianne Buswell recently reflected on her magical trip following the wedding, describing the ceremony as ‘beautiful’ and flooding her Instagram with sunny snaps showcasing her in a vibrant maxi dress during the post-nuptial festivities. The photos included moments of the couple horse riding, kayaking, and soaking up Cape Town’s charm.
Later, Dianne disclosed that they were venturing separately, with her now landing in Brisbane. She uploaded an amusing TikTok where Joe mimes his ideal woman – one who gets his humour. This was followed by goofy footage of Joe larking about at a window as they parted ways. Dianne captioned it: “This is how he said goodbye to me,” coupled with a cry-laughing emoji and a heart.
Her caption also added: “Saying goodbye in our own little way [crying laughing and red heart emojis]. Miss him already!”. Dianne and Joe met when he was on Strictly, with the two going public with their romance in 2018. Just one year later, they moved in together before buying their own home in 2021.
She recently hit out at fans who send her invasive messages about her relationship with Joe. She shared a screenshot of a message she received, which read: “Can’t believe you’re the only one who still hasn’t got kids yet your parents must be proud of your brothers for working and giving them grandchilden.”
Dianne responded: “Wasn’t going to post this. But recently I have been receiving a lot of msgs [sic] like this regarding very personal things! So I wanted to just a remind the internet to really think before sending a msg or commenting on somebody else’s life!”
