Strictly pro Dianne Buswell sparks split fears with Joe Sugg as she fights back tears and calls Bobby Brazier her ‘rock’

STRICTLY Come Dancing pro Dianne Buswell sparked fears she has split with boyfriend with her emotional appearance tonight.

The flame haired Aussie, 34, fought back tears and said celebrity partner Bobby Brazier had been her 'rock' this week.

It came after the pair performed the tango to close the show and were waiting for their scores while chatting to Claudia Winkleman.

First Bobby appeared upset after the performance, despite positive feedback from the judges.

Asked how it was for him, Bobby said: "Just emotional. It's been so so emotional all week."

Dianne then later added: "He has just been a massive rock this week, so thank you."

Her voice then broke and her eyes filled with tears and she leaned into Bobby's chest and hugged him.

Claudia then placed a comforting hand on Dianne's shoulders, while fans watching at home were concerned about why the pro seemed so emotional.

Some even questioned whether there were problems in her relationship with Joe Sugg, who she fell in love with when he competed on the show back in 2018.

"Bobby has been a rock this week.... I hope no issue with Dianne and Joe Sugg. This show really does test relationships," one viewer wrote on X, formerly twitter.

"Has something happened this week?" asked a second.

"Is Dianne okay?" said a concerned third.

"Definitely don't think it was about the dance," weighed in a fourth.

Another, meanwhile, thought the pair were reacting to some bad news off screen.
