Dianne Buswell, a professional wrestler, has been paired with a new celebrity partner for the 2025 season. She compared him to Chris McCausland, who he had with the previous year.
Strictly Come Dancing’s Dianne Buswell has spilled the beans about her new celebrity partner ahead of the show’s much-anticipated return.
The 36 year old reigning Strictly champion, who clinched victory last year with comedian Chris McCausland, 48, revealed that her 2025 partner is “not as funny” as him.
In a candid chat with Chris on their podcast, Dianne confessed that she’s been having plenty of laughs with the mystery male contestant, but reckons it’s thanks to her own jokes.
She remarked, “My God, I’ve never laughed so much in my life, but I’ve never won.” She also made the comment on the podcast Winning Isn’t Everything with Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell.
“Or maybe I’m just funny, or maybe I was just laughing at myself. I may have been like, “You know what?” when I said so many funny things. I have a funny streak.
Dianne also shared some insights into being paired with someone outside of the comedy world on the BBC reality show, reports Wales Online.
She said to Chris, “I’ve come to the realization that you were kind of dominant with the old jokes when I was with you.”
“[I] couldn’t get a word in edgeways with you, with your little lean forward in Claud’s [Claudia Winkleman’s] area.”
When she thought Chris might say something offensive live on-air, Dianne recalled frequently having to “get his] shoulder and]put it back together.”
She continued, “And I just realized that I’m so much funnier because I’m the leader of the pack when you’re with someone who’s not as funny.” I believe I’m the one who makes the most jokes.
Before meeting her new partner, Dianne revealed that Chris texted her saying, “Have a lovely day today, but don’t be too enthusiastic.”
The professional dancer continued to share with viewers that she had contacted Chris for assistance with a planned gag.
“I believe that all of my jokes will come through you,” she continued. You’ll have to check the jokes, I tell them.
He retorted, saying that he should be the first to inquire about a joke that is appropriate.
After sharing her cheeky advice with her new partner after her time with Chris, Dianne made the hilarious joke that “it seems like if you close your eyes, it works a treat.”
Chris became the first blind contestant to appear on the program, and he won.
He frequently made jokes about his situation and how he believed he would be one of the first contestants to win the boot.
The comedian made a joke on the dance floor in the first week: “I’m only here for three weeks, so I might as well get the jokes out now.”
He also made fun of the previous times when it was “no point watching the show” because he was blind.
