Strictly Come Dancing’s Diane Buswell has shared a hilarious video to her Instagram pranking her partner Joe Sugg. Fans were left ‘howling’ and ‘in stitches’ as Diane tested Joe on whether he is ready for their baby.

In September, Dianne and Joe shared their baby news in a sweet video posted to Instagram . In it, they painted a picture and then turned the paper around to show the couple as stick people, along with a stick baby in the middle. They captioned the post: “Our little baby boy, we cannot wait to meet you.”

Dianne fell head over heels for YouTuber Joe Sugg when they were paired on the 2017 series of the BBC One competition, and since then, their love story has continued to blossom.

Taking to Instagram, Diane posted a reel of herself cuddling up to Joe but to test his daddy instincts, she spat out milk on his jumper to get his reaction on whether he is ready for when their baby does the same to him.

Captioning the video, Diane put: “Some will say it’s mean others will say it’s character building ….. just prepping him for all those little milk burps Do we think he passed the test? @Joe_sugg”.

Joe humoured Diane and laughed it off but fans were already in stitches at his reaction and Diane’s prank.

The comments poured in, with one fan admitting: “I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that I flinched more than he did!” Another observed, “you trying not to laugh has me HOWLING”, while a third teased that Joe had spotted the camera mid-prank: “joe spotting the camera he lowkey knew you were up to something”. A fourth chimed in with reassurance: “We’ve all been there with babies He definitely passed the test!”

The pair revealed that they’ve already picked the name for their unborn baby boy. The pair announced earlier this year that Dianne is pregnant with their first child – making her the first pregnant dancer on Strictly Come Dancing .

In a recent video, the Aussie dancer shared that announcing her pregnancy made her the “most nervous” she’d ever been. The couple, who have been together since they met on the hit BBC show in 2018, now regularly post videos to YouTube about their lives.

In a video posted on 27 October, they shared that they were the most nervous to share the news with their families, and that sharing it with their fans caused less anxiety. Answering fans questions, Dianne opened up about telling her parents. She said: “It was the most nervous I’d ever been. I was so nervous to tell people, I don’t know why. I almost put it off.”

Joe agreed that telling family was nerve-wracking. “I think it was because it was such a big life moment,” he said. Talking to the camera, he continued: “I was way more nervous to tell friends and family than I was to tell you lot.” Dianne added that her father thought they were joking and that Joe cried every time they told someone new.

The couple also shared in the video that they’ve already picked out a name for the baby boy, with Joe saying: “The name that we’ve come up with, we’re not going to share it. We can’t really give any clues to it other than I don’t really see this name really anywhere.

“I know some people who have it as their surname but it’s also the sort of name that can be shortened. I’d say it’s quite a unique name but it’s not unique as in-,” he said, with Dianne adding: “Apple or pear. It’s kind of like Joe, isn’t it? Cute when you’re little, you can call yourself Joseph when you’re older.”

Joe continued: “Or it could be a good sportsperson name. I’ve purposefully not said it out lout at all whereas Diane keeps calling him by that name. I do feel like between now and our due date, which is another thing I don’t think we’re going to share, I worry that we might end up revealing it by accident. From now on, he’s called Derek.”

Dianne had continued to be a pro dancer on the show and was partnered with fellow Aussie Stefan Dennis this year, but unfortunately, Stefan had to pull out of the show following an injury, marking the end for Dianne’s Strictly journey this series as well. Though she continues to be seen dancing in pro numbers during the results show, those dances were filmed prior to the series beginning.

It was a wild show on Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing – but things could be about to get even more dramatic.

Strictly Come Dancing was full of drama on Saturday night, with a Perfect 40 score (well done Amber Davies), a star in tears (poor Balvinder Sopal), a singing Paddington and even Neil Jones taking abuse from the stage despite being sat not-so-quietly in the audience.

Well, the drama is set to continue tomorrow night if the latest spoiler to leak out of the BBC hit is accurate. As has been the case for many years now, a well-known account has posted the couples it says enter the dance off and who it is that ultimately gets axed. As ever the information is unverified by the BBC but it has already got fans very hot and bothered.

One said simply: “My jaw just hit the floor.” Another branded the drama set to unfold on Sunday night “wild” while another insisted they were “absolutely gutted”. A third called the verdict: “A bit of a shocker.”

As ever here at the Mirror we don’t want to ruin the fun so we won’t reveal who it is goes until it’s announced on BBC One on Strictly Come Dancing: The Results with Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, which starts at 7.45pm.

As the show ended last night the field seemed wide open, with one fan writing: “I have absolutely NO IDEA who will be in that bottom two tonight. There are reasons why it could be any of them.”

Another added that they felt the leaderboard may have ended up delivering a close race intentionally: “Tonight I feel the judges were told to, bar any massive mistakes, score the couples the same so whoever is in the dance off, it’s the public’s ‘fault’,” they said.

The leaderboard at the end of Saturday’s show put Amber and Nikita top with 40, followed by George and Alexis with 35, Balvinder and Julian also with 35, Lewis and Katya with 35 and Karen and Carlos bottom on 34.

As many have pointed out, any couple could wind up in the dance off from that sort of scoring. With three couples ranking second, three couples have four points already so Amber being at the top of the leaderboard does not make her safe if she is at the bottom of the public vote.

It was a strong week for many couples with Amber – who “lives, sleeps and breathes musicals” – dominating Musicals Week with her top score. But it was also a good week for Balvinder, who picked up her biggest score yet.

With nines from everyone bar Craig Revel Horwood (grim-faced, he lifted the 8) it was clear how much it all meant to her. She broke down in tears mid-way through Motsi Mabuse’s remarks about the Viennese Waltz she performed to Never Enough from the The Greatest Showman.

Former EastEnders actor Martin Kemp was brutally honest when he was questioned over which celeb campmate filled him with fear when it came to securing meals

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here star Martin Kemp has admitted which campmate he didn’t trust to do the Bushtucker Trials and earn food for the camp. The Spandau Ballet star, 64, became the sixth celebrity to be given the boot from the camp this year on Thursday.

Following his exit he made the most of a delicious meal of cheese and onion crisps and pineapple-topped pizza as he appeared on spin-off series Unpacked to chat about his camp experience. Martin, was joined on the couch by last year’s winner, McFly star Danny Jones.

Martin was discussing Angry Ginge’s recent trial which aired on Friday’s show and saw him earn the maximum six stars for camp. He said of the efforts from Ginge: “Oh he’s brilliant at them. You knew when he was going out he was bringing back stars.”

Unpacked host Kemi Rodgers then asked: “So you felt confident in him?” to which he replied: “Oh yeah, without a doubt.”

She then probed further on the topic as she asked: “Was there anyone you didn’t feel confident about going out [to win food for camp], be honest Mart?”

He looked around uncomfortably before he candidly replied: “Urgh yes, Shona. I thought I would be worried if Shona went out to bring home the bacon. I wasn’t too sure.

“But listen, I wanted everyone to get a go, because it’s not about in the end going out to get the dinner. It’s about knowing they are going to be filled with adrenaline and endorphins which you lack when you’re in there.”

Martin has already opened up about his diet in camp described the effects sugar withdrawal had on him, admitting he was desperate for a bit of Toblerone chocolate while struggling with the bland rice and beans diet.

Martin told The Sun : “I have missed everything. I didn’t have anything. The thing you think about most is sugar. When I do something like that, I don’t crave carbs, I crave sugar.

“At one point I had a dream that Toblerones were dancing around my head. Toblerones! It must have been in my subconscious, because your body is craving sugar. Even when I came out, it was still there in my mind. It was a funny thing.”

Martin spent 20 days in camp, becoming great friends with his fellow campmates who praised him as a father figure. Following his exit he told show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly : “I have dreamt about this moment.”

Martin then confirmed his favorite thing about the jungle experience. He said: “The other people, without a doubt.

“Sitting around and talking. I’m not one for making new friends, it’s the first time I’ve done it in years and I’ve loved it. I feel like, coming out now, I’ve done it, done everything I wanted to do, I’ve experienced it and I’ve got some good anecdotes.”

Jack Osbourne took part in I’m A Celeb and was the joint seventh to leave alongside Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, exiting during the quarter final, leaving behind just four campmates

Jack Osbourne has revealed that he broke a big rule on I’m A Celeb. The podcast host was the joint seventh to leave, exiting alongside actress Lisa Riley. After exiting the Jungle, Jack revealed that he had brought a burner phone with him when he flew out to Australia. He then pretended it was his personal phone when his belongings were taken from him, so that he could keep using his actual mobile in the hotel.

I’m A Celeb contestants are not supposed to contact their friends and family whilst waiting to go into the camp, as if they do, they could find out details about the Bushtucker trials and prepare. To enforce this rule, contestants are supposed to have their phones taken from them.

But Jack, after landing in Australia late following a flight cancellation, was able to circumvent the rule. In an interview with The Sun, he added that he chose to stay in contact with his mum Sharon and wife Aree.

He said: “I had work to do, I was doing a bunch of s***. I was calling Aree, I was calling my mum, I was calling the kids. I gave them a secondary phone when I landed. I was like, yeah, there’s my phone.”

Upon leaving the Jungle, Jack also revealed that his wife is pregnant with their second child together. Aree is 28 weeks pregnant and was able to tell Jack’s father, Ozzy, that she was expecting a child before he died in July this year.

Jack told The Sun that it was “healing” to be expecting a child whilst dealing with the death of his father. “It’s awesome. I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing.

“Probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way. It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.”

Ozzy Osbourne died in July this year, after suffering a heart attack. He died just weeks after performing his final concert in Birmingham. Before heading out to the Jungle he told food blogger Kelly Rizzo that he had been dealing with his grief by staying busy.

Some fans found Jack’s constant hovering in the kitchen whilst on I’m A Celeb difficult to watch, but others felt this was a symptom of Jack not coping too well. Alison Hammond shared this view, saying on Unpacked that she thought it was “too soon” after Ozzy’s death for Jack to be on the show.

Coronation Street fans are convinced Lou Michaelis is returning to the cobbles after actress Farrel Hagerty was spotted at the soap’s Christmas party with cast members

A Coronation Street actress has sparked speculation about her return to the soap after joining the cast for a festive gathering. The contentious character made a surprising departure from the show this summer, not long after her first appearance.

Farrel Hagerty, who portrays Lou Michaelis in Coronation Street, was spotted at the programme’s Christmas party held at Refuge in Manchester.

Farrel shared a photo on Instagram of herself alongside Julia Goulding, who plays Shona Platt, and Lucy Fallon, who portrays Bethany Platt. Despite leaving the show earlier this year, her presence at the party strongly suggests she might be making a comeback.

The three actresses looked fabulous, but Corrie enthusiasts will remember that Lou left the show after admitting to assaulting Gary Windass. While serving time, she decided to cut off contact with her children until her release.

She summoned foster carer Sally Metcalfe to the prison and told her: “I don’t want you bringing the kids to see me anymore. Not regularly. I just don’t want them to get used to seeing me here. And this place getting mixed up in their memory of me.”

Despite Sally’s reassurances, Lou insisted: “I just think it’s best to say goodbye for now. For all our sakes.”

Lou then invited her son and daughters over for their final moments together before bidding them farewell for several years at least. “I’ll look after them, I promise,” Brody said as the family shared a tearful goodbye.

Farrel joined the soap alongside Joe Layton, who plays Lou’s husband.

Mick was also shown the door when his character took the life of Craig Tinker. However, Coronation Street fans were given a glimmer of hope last month when soap writer Jan McVerry hinted at a possible return of the contentious crew on the Stateside Street podcast.

She teased about the Michaelis family, whose abrupt departure left viewers disappointed. She explained: “Our hands were tied with Mick who I thought was a really, really good actor because he had another job to go to. He had some theatre work to go to, unfortunately for us, so we knew there was a ticking clock and at this point we were going to have to release the actor.

“Sometimes that’s really helpful, because you know that you’re going to crank up the pace of the story and it’s going to end there – and it’s very helpful to know that you’ve got something to work towards,” she added.

She went on to say: “Personally, I was also gutted because I thought he was such a good actor. We brought in the Michaelis family, him and Lou, [it was] very explosive, hit the ground running. The viewers hated them, but they brought a lot of drama with them and they’ve left us a great legacy with Brody.”

She wrapped up by saying: “It’s not the end of the family. We are going to hear from them again.”

Eamonn Holmes has shared his festive best wishes for his ex-wife Ruth Langsford as he admitted he will be spending his Christmas with his girlfriend Katie Alexander

Eamonn Holmes has expressed his admiration for his ex-wife Ruth Langsford admitting that he thinks she deserves “the best.” The popular TV host has offered a Christmas message to his former partner as their divorce continues.

Eamonn, 66, expressed his best wishes for the Loose Women host while appearing at a Christmas lunch for the broadcasting industry’s Tric Awards, where he was joined by his girlfriend Katie Alexander. He is quoted by The Sun saying: “I wish Ruth all the best, she deserves it.”

The revelation comes after Ruth, 65, confirmed last month that she is having therapy to help her get over the shock split. She is also preparing to release her first book, Feeling Fabulous, next year.

Eamonn and Ruth split last year after 27 years together, with him being snapped with Yorkshire-based mum of three Katie, 44, soon after the breakup. He addressed the couple’s plans for Christmas while speaking at the event.

He told The Sun: “I’m going to be with Katie this Christmas. I’ve never not been in the UK for Christmas, but maybe one year I’ll go away abroad.” Eamonn – who now uses a walking frame after suffering mobility problems since a surgery he underwent in 2022 – also shared how he hopes to walk more freely again in 2026 and how he has remained resilient amid his health struggles.

He is now hoping to have a revolutionary new stem cell treatment. He said: “My dream next year is to go to a park and be able to walk with my frame and my crutches.

“And then my next dream is to get some sort of movement with my legs and maybe I might need a wee chair to sit down on, but it’s hard to explain the sense of achievement to be able to balance and walk.”

He continued: “I’ve been tested for my suitability for stem cell treatment three weeks ago. Pig cells are put into my lower spine and then spreads to your hips and legs to your lower spine.

“The idea is that it repairs what is going dead. Health preoccupies everything — to get yourself up for work, to get yourself dressed and get through the day, the awful thing is to always have to ask someone, ‘Can you please get me this, can you please get me that?’ I try my best.”

Ruth recently opened up in an interview with Women & Home magazine where she candidly revealed: “I definitely see light in the future where I didn’t before. Before, I saw darkness and was thinking, ‘Oh my God, what’s going to happen?’

“But now the fear [has] gone, because what do you do? Do you crumble? Do you lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive.”

When asked if she would be open to finding love again, she added: “Never say never. I haven’t been put off having a relationship. I haven’t even been put off marriage, but I’m definitely not actively looking, and part of that is because I’ve realised I’m actually quite good on my own. I am independent and quite strong.”
