Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has shared a heartfelt pregnancy update with fans as she prepares to welcome her first child. The professional dancer, 36, took to social media to post a series of intimate photos showing off her growing baby bump — including one snap where she posed in underwear while reflecting on her pregnancy journey. The Australian ballroom favourite, who is expecting a baby boy with influencer Joe Sugg, told followers she has been left amazed by the changes her body has gone through during the experience.

In one of the photos, Dianne could be seen sitting on the edge of her bed wearing a black bra and an unbuttoned white woollen blouse, with her bare bump on full display as sunlight poured into the room. Sharing the update with her followers, Dianne wrote: “So in awe of what my body has been able to do during pregnancy I always thought I would struggle mentally with the changes to my body but actually it’s made me appreciate it more than ever before. Can’t wait to meet you darling boy.”

In another sweet snap, the dancer stood in her hallway holding a cup labelled “mama” while showing off her bump in a green crop top and black shorts.

Another photo captured her cuddling up to Joe, 34, as the couple prepare to become parents for the first time.

The expectant mum also posed in different spots around her home while the sunlight shone across her bump, capturing the final stages of her pregnancy as she awaits the arrival of their son.

Fans quickly flooded the comments with messages of support and admiration. One follower wrote: “So so beautiful!! And what stunning photos for you to remember this time.”

Another added: “Love this so much so beautiful, and the last pic you really have shown how incredible women’s bodies are, it’s so inspiring! So excited for you!”

A third gushed: “Beautiful the female body is amazing!!! You are glowing.” While another fan commented: “Your body does incredible things, this little boy is super lucky x.”

Dianne has been regularly sharing updates throughout her pregnancy, but the dancer has also had to deal with criticism from online trolls.

Earlier this year, she hit back at keyboard warriors who complained that her baby bump was “always out” in her posts.

Last week her partner Joe was also forced to address rumours circulating online after a fake baby announcement began spreading on social media.

The YouTube star told fans the image was completely fabricated and warned people not to believe everything they see online.

Sharing a video update on Instagram, Joe said: “I worry for the Facebook generation sometimes with all this AI malarkey.”

He continued while pointing to the viral image: “So I had loads of family and friends messaging me being like ‘congrats on the news. We thought you’d tell us first before the internet.’”

Explaining the situation further, he added: “This is AI. Look, that’s not me. I don’t know who that is, but it’s not me. I mean, I’d take it!”

He concluded: “Yeah, he’s not here. It’s AI. Um, AI, it’s getting scary.”
