Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell teases stint as judge on Australian version

Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell has teased her return to Australia's version of the show, but as a judge.

The professional ballroom dancer, 32, is hoping her potential stint as a judge on the series could help secure her a spot on the UK's judging panel.

Dianne also revealed she was inspired by former co-star Oti Mabuse - who she says is "absolutely incredible".

The red-haired Aussie beauty spoke about how she is loved by the British public and how it would be a dream for her to be a judge on the BBC1 family show.

Dianne told MailOnline : "One thing coming here with dancing is that I appreciate so much how much the UK public enjoy the art form that I do.

"Ballroom dancing is a really big thing over here. It is as well in Australia but I mean... for example Dancing With The Stars over there is nowhere near as big as here so I thank the UK public for loving dancing so much and how much joy it brings them.

"It was always my dream to come over here. My first dose I did in Australia, it really made me fall in love with TV."

She added: "I love dancing so maybe I might be going back over there... I mean I'd love to be a judge on the show. I would love to do that, but we'll see. You never know what's just around the corner."

Dianne said she is willing to take "baby steps" and start with a role on the Aussie version, in a bid to see what happens in the future.

The dancer has such awe for Strictly's Oti - who recently judged The Masked Dancer and ITV's Dancing On Ice.

Dianne concluded: "I think Oti is absolutely incredible and she really goes for it. She's a real inspiration and I would obviously love to venture out and do different things as well."

The TV star, who is in a relationship with Joe Sugg, seems to have plans to start a family with him in the future.

Last year, they took a huge step as they bought a house together.

Speaking to Women's Health, she said: "I'd love to have a family one day, and I know Joe would love a family too. That would be our dream one day."

At the moment, there are no plans for the couple to tie the knot.

But they have gone from strength-to-strength over the years.
