Strictly's Dianne Buswell opens up on her future baby plans with boyfriend Joe Sugg and reveals why she's not worried about taking a break from her career to have children
The dancer, 36, and her YouTuber partner, 33, struck up a romance when they were paired together during the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.
And after seven years together, Dianne discussed the possibility of starting a family with Joe as she revealed why she's 'not worried' about taking a break from her career to have children.
Speaking in a new interview with Prima, the Australian native said of their romance: 'When Joe and I met, it wasn't until the show ended that we realised we missed each other's company a lot – our relationship went from there. We always got on, he was so funny to me, and I loved how creative he was.'
On starting a family, she continued: 'We've always wanted kids, it's just finding the right time. I don't feel worried about taking time out from dancing, I just don't see the point in worrying. When everything aligns, it will happen. I have to have that vision. I like to practise manifestation, I'm quite spiritual.'
The professional dancer went on to reveal what it's like having a relationship in the public eye.
She noted: 'Joe and I forget we're famous sometimes – when we're out and about, we'll be like, "Why are they looking at us? Ah, okay, I remember." It doesn't feel that difficult to have a relationship in the public eye – we're good at not taking notice of things that are written about us.'
She added that thing can get 'hard' when it comes to privacy, especially when people are 'obsessed' with finding out personal details about the pair such as their address.
It comes after Dianne previously revealed all on her future family plans with her partner Joe amid both their hectic schedules.
The flame-haired beauty teased her baby plans in an interview in May as she got involved with a campaign for the children's show Bluey for which she is creating a new dance along YouTube series.
She told The Mirror: 'I was always the babysitter for all my little cousins – I've always been a real lover of children. They fascinate me so much.'
Speaking of her new series of Bluey Dance alongs she added: 'I always think that in the future, if I was to have my own kids, that they would be able to potentially watch this.
'It plays at the back of my mind and that's pretty cool.'
Meanwhile, earlier that month she revealed she's desperate to have children - but admitted the gruelling demands of her showbiz career are delaying her dreams of becoming a mum.
The star, who lifted the Glitterball Trophy last year, revealed that time spent with her nieces and nephews over Christmas triggered serious baby fever.

Dianne told The Sun: 'I would like to have children, 100 per cent.
'Joe and I love kids, and that's definitely something that we would absolutely love. I haven't really thought about how many I would like. It will definitely happen.'
The couple, who live in a £3.5million home in Brighton, have been flooded with baby chat recently, but say their hectic schedules are the biggest hurdle.
At the time, Dianne was preparing to hit the road for a 30-date UK tour with fellow Strictly dancer Vito Coppola, while also promoting a new podcast with 2023 partner Chris McCausland.
The pro dancer admitted juggling motherhood and a performance career would be 'a challenge' but insisted it's something both she and Joe are excited about.
She said: 'My job is quite demanding and I love it so much.
'It is a tough one to balance out and think about. It would take a lot of thought, but eventually one day we'll get there, but there is lots happening at the moment. It will happen when it's supposed to.'

Mark Labbett paused Celebs Go Dating filming due to health
Channel 4's dating show sees celebrities try to find love with a new group of famous faces looking for 'the one' in each series. Labbett, known on the quiz show as The Beast, admitted he had been 'single for most of my life', before adding: 'I'm a little bit on the spectrum.' The quizzer has diabetes and it was this that forced him to take a break while filming, reports The Mirror. He said: 'One night, I had a hypoglycaemic attack,' adding: 'I might have been a bit grumpy that night. I apologised to everyone after.' The Beast said a nap on set afterwards helped him out. Also while filming, Labbett was reportedly asked 'to read social cues', the newspaper says. Labbett said: 'I went, 'What do you mean?'' He added: ''You don't notice people's emotions when in the room?,' and I said no. There was shock on both sides.' What is a hypoglycaemic attack? The NHS explains: "Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia or a hypo) is usually where your blood sugar (glucose) is below 4mmol/L. It needs to be treated quickly to stop it getting worse, but you can usually treat it yourself." Symptoms of hypoglycaemia include feeling hungry, dizzy or anxious, sweating, shaking and more. You can find out more about hypoglycaemia via the NHS website. Celebs Go Dating lineup The series' lineup includes former Love Island star Olivia Hawkins, former Too Hot to Handle star Louis Russell, Donna Preston from The Sandman and Made In Chelsea's Sam Prince. TV personality Christine McGuinness is also taking part in the show alongside singer and reality star Kerry Katona, and Jon Lee from S Club 7. Recommended reading: Anna Williamson is excited for the new Celebs Go Dating series, saying: 'Get your popcorn ready,' Anna adds. 'We have a 'new' agency this series. We've got amazing celebrities who are so different. They each brought such different challenges for us coaches to work on." She added: 'The challenge this year was trying to keep up with the celebrities and their dating prowess.' Anna continued: 'It was quite challenging to help some of our celebrities unlearn certain behaviours. Some of them didn't know how to even walk into a date and execute it appropriately.'

The Shocking Feud Between These Top Celebrity Podcasters
It was one of the most powerful pairings in podcasting. When Call Her Daddy powerhouse Alex Cooper brought TikTok darling Alix Earle into her newly launched production network Unwell, it was clear she was tapping the next generation of huge media stars to follow in her footsteps. But things didn't last when in March the podcast stopped and neither party said very much afterwards. So, what exactly went wrong? Now, six months after her podcast Hot Mess was cancelled, Earle, who has more seven million followers on TikTok, seems to have confirmed rumours of a feud between them. The 24-year-old left some telling comments on her TikTok channel. She posted a video from a car and said, 'My Co–Star told me that I can start s--- today,' referring to the popular astrology app. 'I mean, is this my time that I've been waiting for to go? I have so much information. We could go.' She went on, 'I wake up every day, and I'm like, "What should I do Co-Star?" And today, it's like, "Revenge. Let's go get 'em."' Things got more pointed when a fan left a comment saying, 'Yes, tell us what happened with Alex Cooper thank you.' She responded, 'How much time do you have?' Earle was one of the first people to be signed up to Unwell in 2023, and in March of this year the podcast stopped. Neither Cooper nor Earle gave a clear reason for why it was cancelled. Cooper responded to rumours of the feud on TikTok at the time, saying, 'Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do with Unwell. [I don't know] why she can't/what's going on.' She also confirmed that Earle had full intellectual property rights over Hot Mess , meaning Unwell wasn't preventing her from resuming. But Cooper indicated that there was actually more to the story in May, two months after the cancellation, when she shared more about the decision to the Wall Street Journal : 'That was, behind the scenes, a little bit of a hot mess.' Earle has previously said she has 'plans to bring things back', but rather than bring the podcast back as was shared she wanted to focus on her YouTube channel. 'We have plans to bring things back, elevate things,' the 24-year-old explained. 'It might look a little different, but I'm excited to see what we do with it.' Ruchira Sharma is Acting Senior Editor at Grazia, where she writes and edits features for print and digital.

Strictly pro dancers dubbed themselves ‘International Men of Mystery' after ‘swinging antics' at wild after-show parties
Bizarre Editor Ellie Henman lifts the lid on the pro dancer with a 'hall pass' and how the Blackpool show turned into a sex fest ELLIE HENMAN Strictly pro dancers dubbed themselves 'International Men of Mystery' after 'swinging antics' at wild after-show parties Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STRICTLY Come Dancing prides itself on being a family show. Well, that's one VERY messed-up dysfunctional family… Forget recent cocaine allegations, the truth is far racier. 5 Strictly has been hit by a series of scandals over recent years (stock image) Credit: PA 5 The BBC has recently launched a fresh probe into drug allegations Credit: Getty For I can reveal that a small group of pro-dancers calling themselves 'The International Men of Mystery' have been indulging in swinging after shows - and their antics will make your eyes water. The 'IMOM' moniker, which they came up with themselves, is almost laughable. But knowing the men involved in this group as I do, I can tell you they've got more front than Harrods - and would have revelled in their self-created grandeur. The reality of their antics is far grubbier, however. 'Partner swapping on Strictly was common,' my insider explained. 'This group of pros referred to themselves as 'The International Men of Mystery' and were notorious for sleeping with each other's partners - even when some of them were in relationships. 'Naturally, it all became very messy.' The 'mess' which my insider told me about played out in the background of the show. And - thankfully for BBC bosses - doesn't appear to have affected the mega-watt smiles the stars put on when Strictly's famous tune starts up…even if they're actually grimacing inside. 'One female star, who was in a relationship, had sexual encounters with two members of 'The International Men of Mystery' and it ended up being gossiped about by everyone,' my source - who worked on Strictly for a number of years - explained. BBC offer Strictly cocaine duo rehab stint after claim pair took drug on show as bosses consider random tests during tour 'There are so many stories about partner swapping and bed hopping, it was rife and well known. 'Another time there was a tale about a male pro who was in a relationship but was given permission by his partner to sleep with whoever he wanted - as long as he went back to her when he'd had his fun.' Not squeaky clean Strictly, as fans know, is a juggernaut of a series - and it's run like a military operation by the BBC. The regimented production meant that the bed-hopping, as well as the alleged cocaine use by two stars, and heavy drinking, was more rife on The Strictly Live Tour, along with The Strictly Professionals tour. My source added: 'How they managed to perform on the tour while partying every night is beyond belief, given how much they'd drink and how little they'd sleep. 'After nearly every show, they went hard - and the 'International Men of Mystery' would be leading the charge. 'Whether it was on the tour bus, in hotel bars, or in local nightclubs near the arenas. 'They would drink a hell of a lot. They worked hard and played even harder.' After nearly every show, they went hard - and the 'International Men of Mystery' would be leading the charge. Blackpool, where every year the pros and contestants compete at the seaside town's world-famous tower, is, I'm told, where the 'IMOM' would let loose. "The behaviour of this group was like something from a Club 18-30's holiday in Benidorm,' my source explained. 'You wouldn't have thought they were some of the most famous faces from a BBC family show. 'On tour, the drinking and the partying would lead to partner swapping and bed hopping. 'Staff at various hotels would have seen so much of it but seem to have said nothing. 'It was eye-opening to be around it. Fans of the show would be shocked - the stars they see on screen aren't as squeaky clean as they make out.' The BBC has been approached for comment. 5 The Sun's showbiz editor Ellie Henman has lifted the lid on the latest Strictly crisis (stock image) Credit: PA 5 A law firm has been hired by the BBC to probe damning allegations of cocaine use on Strictly Come Dancing Credit: Alamy 5 Worried Strictly chiefs are determined to deliver a trouble-free new show Credit: PA Every scandal that has rocked Strictly has been revealed by The Sun, including the damaging allegations against Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, which saw them both leaving the BBC show last year. The cocaine probe, which is underway now, was revealed by The Sun on Sunday - with two stars at the centre of damning allegations they took the Class A substance while on the show. Fresh Strictly scandal My source explained that the alleged drug use and bed-hopping went hand-in-hand and that at the conclusion of the investigation, it was likely another culture shift would be required at the heart of Strictly. 'The BBC have clearly been working hard to clear up Strictly's reputation and have brought in a string of measures to safeguard contestants and their welfare. 'But the drinking and the sex - that's a culture shift that is still waiting to happen. 'The lines between professional and personal relationships on Strictly have been blurred for a long time. 'If they want to stamp it out, there needs to be a clampdown on this behaviour.'
