BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell sends 'little reminder' as she has 'final' talk with Bobby Brazier

Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell has shared a 'little reminder' with fans after having a 'final' talk with Bobby Brazier. The pair are currently preparing to perform in the semi-final of the BBC One dance contest this Saturday (December 9).

Australian dancer Dianne and EastEnders star Bobby made it through to the penultimate week of the competition after there was no elimination during the Musicals week special last weekend. Only four couples performed during the latest live show - which was also quarter-finals and Musicals week - after major changes had to be made following Nigel Harman's sudden exit from the competition.

The actor and his professional dance partner Katya Jones had to withdraw from Strictly 2023 after he sustained a rib injury that left him in A&E. It meant that the remaining couples performed only for the judges' scores with the points being added to their total this weekend after performing twice.

Bobby, 20, and Dianne Buswell, 34, will perform the Paso Doble to 'Run Boy Run' by Woodkid, and the Quickstep to 'Mack the Knife' by Bobby Darin. And in a social media update, the pair looked tired but were still smiling as they offered their fans and followers an update.

First, Dianne shared a picture of Bobby doing his bits to camera which will feature in Saturday night's live show. She said: "Onto the 8th hour of the day and still more to go! Honestly the hard work he is putting in makes me so proud," before sharing a face holding back tears emoji. She added: "Come on Bobs!"

They then sat and spoke to the camera
