Dianne Buswell opens up on emotional Strictly appearance with partner Bobby Brazier

Dianne Buswell has opened up after getting overcome with emotion during Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing.

The 34-year-old was left tearful as she chatted to host Claudia Winkleman following her and celebrity partner Bobby Brazier’s performance, which sparked concern from fans on social media.

Speaking of Brazier, 20, during the post-performance chat, she said: “He has just been a massive rock this week, so thank you,” before her voice broke and hugged him.

Following her emotional appearance on the BBC series, Buswell took to Instagram on Sunday night and shared shots of boyfriend Joe Sugg as he cooked her a roast dinner.

The Aussie dancer then reposted a picture her other half had taken of her smiling face next to her food.

He cheekily captioned the snap: “These are the best roast potatoes I’ve ever eaten in my life, Joe you are the best roaster of the potato the world’s ever seen, I love you so much more than I even did before!’”

To which Buswell agreed on her report, writing: “It’s the best roasted potatoes I have ever had.”

Following her performance on Saturday night, Sugg showed his support for the pair and shared a clip of their dance.

He wrote alongside it: “LOVED IT. INCREDIBLE” with heart emojis.

Buswell wasn’t the only one visibly upset following their routine as Brazier seemed a little emotional despite scoring a decent 30 out of 40 for their tango to Fashion by David Bowie.

The EastEnders star when asked by Winkleman how he felt after his performance, he replied: “Just emotional. It’s been so, so emotional all week.”

After the emotional appearance some took to social media to express concerns and wished the pair all the best on the show.

One shared on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I hope Bobby is okay. He just seemed very upset tonight. Not sure what they are eluding to when they said it’s been a hard week but I hope everything is okay. Xxx.”

“They both looked really sad tonight and neither have posted training footage on IG this week. I hope they’re both ok,” another commented online.

A third added: “Bobby seemed upset tonight, especially when the judges were talking to him after the dance and going up the stairs, and when he was talking to Claudia he looked like he was gonna cry, I really hope he’s okay.”
