Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg Announce They’re Expecting a Baby Boy in 2026

Posted days before Strictly returns, the reveal prompted reports that she will still compete during pregnancy.

Overview

  • In a joint Instagram reel soundtracked by Elton John’s Tiny Dancer, the couple flipped a canvas to show stick figures of them holding a child with “2026” written above.
  • The caption read, “Our little baby boy. We cannot wait to meet you,” confirming the baby’s sex but not a specific due date.
  • Congratulations poured in from the Strictly family, including the show’s official account and stars such as Amy Dowden, Vito Coppola, Shirley Ballas and Stacey Dooley.
  • Multiple outlets report Buswell is expected to take part in the new Strictly series starting 20 September, which would be a first for a professional to compete while pregnant; the BBC has not confirmed this.
  • Buswell and Sugg met as partners on Strictly in 2018 and later moved in together, with Buswell winning the 2024 series alongside Chris McCausland.
