Professional dancer Dianne Buswell from “Strictly Come Dancing” has responded to online critics, stating she has reached her limit. The red-haired dancer, who is part of the 2025 series of the popular BBC show with Australian actor Stefan Dennis, made history as the first pregnant contestant on the show.
Dianne and her celebrity partner Stefan were absent from the recent episode due to Stefan’s illness, causing them to miss the Movie Week special. However, they made a comeback this week, performing a Charleston routine on Saturday to the tune of “Dance Monkey” by Tones And I. Their performance received high praise from the judges, with some calling it their best yet, earning them a score of 26 out of 40. Fans marveled at Dianne’s agility, including her cartwheels and dramatic entrances down the Strictly staircase.
Despite the positive feedback, some viewers expressed concerns over Dianne dancing while pregnant. Addressing the criticism on Instagram, Dianne shared a comment from a viewer questioning the safety of her performance. Frustrated with the remarks, she expressed her discontent with such opinions.
While some criticized her decision to participate in the show while pregnant, many fans showed overwhelming support for Dianne. They emphasized her professionalism and expertise as a dancer, trusting her judgment to prioritize her and her baby’s well-being.
Dianne, who is 36 years old, announced earlier this year that she and YouTuber Joe Sugg are expecting their first child. Fans have raised concerns about her executing challenging lifts on the show. In a podcast interview, Dianne revealed that her doctor had given her advice on continuing her routines with caution, reassuring her that her dancing background and experience made her well-equipped to handle the performances safely.
