Dianne Buswell to Dance on Strictly While Pregnant, a First for the Show

Medical guidance supports her competing with caution under a supportive BBC duty of care plan.

Overview

  • Buswell reaffirmed she is "definitely doing Strictly" and said producers were informed earlier and have been supportive.
  • She reported her doctor found everything normal and said she will be cautious with lifts after pre‑filming most professional routines.
  • Saturday’s pre‑recorded launch show will feature her reunion waltz with Chris McCausland and reveal this year’s celebrity‑pro pairings.
  • Joe Sugg described himself as a "panicky dad," saying he has been asking midwives what is safe for Buswell during the series.
  • Chris McCausland indicated their podcast may pause during the run, which the BBC has not confirmed, while separate fan guesses about the due date remain speculative with no official date announced.
