Strictly Come Dancing pros unrecognisable as Dianne Buswell unveils baby-faced snap

Strictly Come Dancing professional stars have been snapped looking completely unrecognisable in a rare throwback snap.

Dianne Buswell posted the gob-smacking picture on her Instagram Story as she unveiled the faces of her fellow stars from years ago.

The Australian dancer, 31, shared the old snap with her 861K followers on Friday night.

It showed her without her trademark red hair a trip to New York with a group of friends in a year gone past.

Dianne has become a dancing icon on the floor of the BBC show, not least due to her shock of bright red hair.

But there was a time though when she hadn't discovered the red dye and was happy with her natural brunette look which is how she appears in the pics from the Big Apple.

For those that have only really seen Dianne with her fiery hair colour, will notice a huge difference as she shows off her mousy brown hair and dramatic full fringe.

The photos show Dianne with her pals including fellow Strictly star Gorka Marquez.

The dancer looked entirely different as his baby face grinned at the camera with a backdrop of a New York.

The fresh-faced pair posed with fellow professional dancer Faye Huddleston, and Dancing With The Stars Australia pros Megan Wragg and Christopher Page.

“The fun New York days!!!” Dianne captioned the snap.

The pals recently attended a wedding together in Napoli as they’ve remained friends for many years.

Dianne’s throwback comes just after she vowed to transform her trademark red tresses if she takes home the coveted glitterball trophy this year.

The Australian-born dancer, who is dating former Strictly partner Joe Sugg, promised to change her hair colour if she wins the BBC One dancing competition.

The 33-year-old told Hello! magazine: “If I win Strictly, I’ll change the colour completely. I dyed my hair burgundy eight years ago and it’s got even brighter.

“I love the energy colour brings and how it makes me feel. I used to have black hair and wore a lot of black because I was too shy to put on anything else.

“Deep down, I loved colour but was afraid to wear it. But when I found my inner confidence I really went for it.”

The new series of Strictly will see 15 celebrity contestants, including TV presenter Helen Skelton, EastEnders actor James Bye and singer Fleur East, paired with professional dancers.
