Dianne Buswell is currently performing on Strictly Come Dancing after announcing she is expecting her first baby with partner Joe Sugg
Channing Tatum ended up confused about a Strictly Come Dancing star’s pregnancy during his The One Show appearance this week. The actor was appearing on the BBC show to promote his latest role but Dianne Buswell and Stefan Dennis were also there to talk about Strictly.
Before the latest series kicked off, Dianne announced that she and her boyfriend, who she met on the show, were expecting their first baby together. She is still taking part on the show throughout her pregnancy.
The One Show host Alex Jones gave her congratulations to Dianne, joking that “there’s actually three of you dancing”. The professional dancer agreed, but Alex had to clarify what she meant when Channing looked slightly confused.

Alex said “Dianne’s expecting a baby” while the actor admitted he was “not understanding” what was going on. He said that he thought Strictly seemed “different to Dancing With The Stars” as others joked that he must have thought three people took to the dance floor instead of the usual couples.
Dianne went on to say how great it is to be able to be on the show while pregnant, she said: “It’s really exciting. Thank you so much. Yeah, that was very cool. And when I’m out there, I often think I’ve got a little bunny just dancing along with us. It’s really cool. It’s a magical experience.”
The 36-year-old is partnered up with Stefan and they got off to a good start but had to miss Move Week due to the actor not being very well. However, they will be taking to the Strictly dancefloor once again this weekend.
Fans were disappointed as they wanted to see their Shrek inspired routine for Movie Week. Dianne was still able to join in with her professional dancers as she took part in the group routines instead.
Now, the pair have confirmed if they will be back on the show as they recorded a message for their worried fans. Stefan and Dianne revealed they were back in the training room and are planning to make their comeback this Saturday.
In their message, Stefan said: “Hi everyone, just want to say thank you very much for all your support and well wishes while we were away last week. We are back in the training room and if all goes well, which it will, I will be back on the floor this Saturday. I am looking forward to it.”
Stefan confirmed that the pair would be dancing a Charleston. The dancer added: “But honestly, from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for all the support and love and we are very very excited to be back in the training room.”
The BBC confirmed Stefan’s absence with a statement before the live show. They said: “Stefan Dennis won’t be dancing on Saturday night due to illness. We wish him a speedy recovery and will hopefully see him back in the Ballroom with Dianne next week.”
Dianne took to Instagram to share the announcement and added her own message for Stefan. On her Instagram Story, the Australian dancer wrote: “Sending Aussie love to the wonderful @stefandennis7 you are such a trooper and I know how much you wanted to dance. Hopefully we will be back in full force next week.”
