BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell says 'miss you every day' as she's flooded with messages amid difficult distance

Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has told fans who she's currently 'missing every day' as she paid tribute to her dad on his birthday. The dancer is currently touring the country as part of the BBC One dance contest's live arena tour.

Dianne was reunited with celebrity partner Bobby Brazier earlier this month for the first time since they competed in the final of Strictly 2023 on December 16. They faced Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin and Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola in the last live show of the series with the latter couple eventually lifting the Glitterball trophy

Following the final, Dianne jumped on a plane and headed to Australia where she spent Christmas with her family after opening up about her father's ill health, revealing he was undergoing chemotherapy treatment as she reached the later stages of Strictly 2023. Meanwhile, Bobby headed off on his own family holiday before the pair were reunited for the first time in weeks earlier this month.
