The dancer, 36, met YouTube star Sugg when they were partnered together on the BBC One dancing show in 2018.

She told Prima magazine: '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.
'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.'
Reflecting on life in the public eye, she said: '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.
'Sometimes, though, people are obsessed with wanting to find out things, such as where we live, so it can be hard in terms of privacy.'
Buswell also reflected on what it was like to win Strictly in 2024 alongside her celebrity dance partner, Chris McCausland, who became the first blind person to compete on the series.
'He had to trust me 100%, I had to trust him 100% and so it was a really strong bond from the word go', she said.

'I taught him a lot, but he taught me just as much. I've always loved comedy and had a niche for comedic timing but being a dancer, we don't talk, we dance. Chris has allowed me to be more of the character that I naturally am.'
During the series, the couple performed a viral 'blackout' dance which saw comedian McCausland place his hands over Buswell's eyes as the room faded to black, mimicking his everyday experience.
When the lights returned, the 48-year-old was spinning around with Buswell on his shoulders as pyrotechnics flared in the background.

Axed Islander Emma reveals secret vapers in the Love Island villa and fans will be shocked
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star Emma Munro has revealed exactly which Islanders enjoy a cheeky vape in the villa and it may surprise you. ITV2 viewers are always left wondering each year which Islanders are smokers after the show stopped airing contestants smoking on screen. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Axed Islander Emma revealed who the secret vapers are in the villa Credit: YouTube / Spill With Will 3 She said 'almost everyone' enjoyed a vape Credit: Eroteme Casa Amor's Emma, who made it back into the main villa alongside Conor, identified which of her co-stars would most frequently visit the smoking area outside the villa. Appearing on Spill with Will podcast, Emma said: "Almost all of them [vape], Helena and Harry were the worst for it, they were always in there." Emma said: "I've tried before, I feel high whenever I try it, my heads spinning." During the earlier seasons of Love Island, viewers watched the Islanders smoke on their screens. But now they have to do it off camera to discourage social smoking. During the same chat, Emma also revealed what her ex and former co-star Harry Cooksley messaged her before heading into the villa. Harry, 30, was initially left stunned when his ex Emma entered the Mallorca villa, and he could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex." Now Emma has let slip their last conversation before he entered the ITV2 series as a show OG. She denied knowing he was going on the matchmaking series and said: "No, he [Harry] sent me the weirdest text right before he went into holding. "And he basically said 'oh you won't be able to contact me for the summer, please get hold of my mum if you need anything.' Axed Love Islander Emma addresses villa feud as she reveals Islander she was 'scared' to speak to and secret rows that were never aired "I thought oh he's going to rehab. "Or he's checked into a wellness centre, how wrong was I?" Emma, who was recently given the boot from the show, told how she first became aware of his telly gig when she saw his Instagram post. She added: "I wasn't shocked you know. "I feel like this is a bit of him, he'd be the perfect candidate. "And he has been, he's carried the show on his back lets be honest." PLOT REVEAL During their time in the villa together, the pair's connection appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some banter about PDA, with him even smelling her armpit. Fans were then quick to claim the brunette's "real mask had slipped." This was exacerbated when she was heard discussing the show's £50K cash prize pot on the ITV2 series. In spin off show Aftersun, host Maya Jama directly asked the TV show star why. She said: "You're one of the few Islanders who have actually mentioned the 50k." Emma replied: "We have broken the fourth wall," to which Maya said: "You did, can you clarify what you meant by that? "I think you said something after like 'ahh play along' something like that?" Emma giggled before she said: "Look I'm glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke. "Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly. "None of it was serious."

Edinburgh Fringe comedy reviews: Sam Nicoresti: Baby Doomer

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... COMEDY Sam Nicoresti: Baby Doomer Pleasance Courtyard (Bunker Two) (Venue 33) until 24 August ★★★★☆ Sam Nicoresti's evolution as a stand up has been inextricably bound up with their journey as a trans person. And very specifically in this show with their quest to find the perfect two-piece skirt suit. A mortifying experience in the changing rooms of a high street clothing retailer – during a Pride march no less – could be seen as symbolic of the culture wars. And it unquestionably is at a superficial level. But Nicoresti focuses on the very personal fallout of the tale: the humiliation and novelty of the scenario, those fundamental bedrocks of good anecdotal humour. Sam Nicoresti in Baby Doomer | Contributed Blessed with an interrogative intelligence and self-lacerating streak, they're living at the vanguard of social upheaval, just scrambling to be themselves with audiences the beneficiaries. No shrinking violet exactly, fond of tossing out a challenging aphorism such as 'all kink is autistic' or observations like the trans community being inherently drawn to magic, then winning you round to their point of view, Nicoresti nevertheless radiates fragility and insecurity. Any big laughs they elicit, and there are many, feel like bigger affirmations of self. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad There's trauma, certainly, though Nicoresti is bleakly, hilariously forced to confront the reality that their flavour of PTSD may not be quite of the same strength or vintage as those of others. Related in characteristic asides, their parental support network is ambivalent at best. And the episode of their sperm donation is an eye-opening account of what some people have to go through in order to sustain the possibility of a family. With a lovely, precise turn of phrase and an extreme insider-outsider perspective in such ultra cisnormative environments as the gym, Nicoresti remains a highly distinctive act who doesn't seem to have peaked quite yet, with a long way to seemingly go in every respect. JAY RICHARDSON COMEDY Caroline McEvoy: Train Man Assembly Roxy (Venue 139) until 25 August ★★★☆☆ Caroline McEvoy's impressive Fringe debut draws its title from the YouTube channel and abiding obsession of her younger brother, one of the most important shapers of her identity. Jonathan is profoundly autistic. And her family's adaptation to his needs has massively impacted the London-based Northern Irish stand up's upbringing and present circumstances, while likely dictating her future. As the big sister charged with additional responsibilities, McEvoy nurtures some lingering resentments. But she's simply outgunned in the war of sibling rivalry thrust upon her, with the more consequential conflict of sectarian Ireland a backdrop that she archly and tonally astutely weaves into their story. Disney films are another recurring metaphor that she leans on, contrasting their optimistic sentiments with her own, somewhat more jaded perspective. She doesn't lay all of her issues at her brother's door though, with her teenage sexual awakening a confusion entirely of her own experimentation, though girls-only education unquestionably played a part. Keeping it light and entertaining for the most part, the self-mocking McEvoy is alive to her own foibles. But she fully conveys the magnitude of Jonathan's challenges, not just in his endearing, atypical quirks but also the ways in which society fails their family. JAY RICHARDSON COMEDY Sam Williams: Touch Me Not Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33) until 25 August ★★★☆☆ Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Such is the idiosyncrasy of Sam Williams' first full-length Fringe show, that the stand up's claims of scratching a living eating cat food for marketing purposes and to be dating an Olympic champion, facilitated in an online netherworld that maybe has some overlap with the real, physical realm, aren't the most remarkable aspects of his debut. If all had gone to plan, the garrulous comic would be in a French monastery right now he maintains, having undertaken a vow of silence. Truly, God moves in mysterious ways. Because as a proudly sex-positive and articulate bisexual, Williams seems an unlikely adherent to the Christian faith. With two queer brothers, and parents who run the gamut from evidence-based rational thinking to hallucinogen-induced mysticism, Williams is that most scallywag of rogues, the charismatically Byronic storyteller with an exposed belly of vulnerability and overarching need to belong. As a lost soul, evoking the parable of The Prodigal Son through the clumsily cringe retelling of Rob Lacey's Street Bible, the text rendered in grasping yoof speak, this is a real curate's egg of an hour. Williams seems open, intelligent and painfully self-conscious. But his naked admission of embellishing his story somewhat undermines the spiritual epiphany, not least as he can't help getting a little too serious in his conclusion.

A Clown Odyssey Underbelly, Bristo Square (Venue 302) until 25 August ★★★☆☆ Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A fishy tale to be sure, Coral Bevan's drag clown show has a mythic quality that belies its modest staging. Alone on his boat, endlessly polishing his rod to a gleaming shine, grizzled old sea dog Jon chatters away to himself and casts into the ocean, taking a more than famished interest in what he might catch. To the calming lapping of the waves, What's on the End of My Rod? opens as a gently beguiling character comedy hour, as the wild-eyed, mostly toothless mariner baits and swims amongst the crowd. After reeling in a beauty however, the show takes a starboard lurch for the surreal and becomes epically Homerian, with the storm-tossed angler doggedly clinging to survival, a dream of love and resisting sirens' call. With the grotesquely made-up, utterly unrecognisable Bevan portraying both Jon and his screeching nemesis, the slippery characterisation plays with gender and even species specificity. You wouldn't call it particularly challenging or radical, beyond having a woman artfully assail an environment historically depicted as masculine, from the Greeks to Hemingway. Yet this Asparagus Mousse production is peculiar, throwaway silliness that charms with the fulness of the briny world it evokes. JAY RICHARDSON COMEDY Peter Buckley Hill and Some Comedians Whistle Binkies (Venue 158) until 24 August ★★★☆☆ This can be a tricky room to play as the noise spill from the bar can be overpowering. But it is an absolute joy to see Peter Buckley Hill back on stage with the show that started the whole Free Fringe – and paved the way for all that came after. And he doesn't let us down. Opening with a good old knob gag and moving on into a selection of his finest and jolliest musical ditties, he herds his baby audience from bemused through disbelieving to loving every moment. It is an object lesson in MCing a gig. We herald the start of each new song with the traditional 'Ohhhhhhhhhhhh,' giggle our way through a rousing rendition of Nobody Gives a F**k If You're a Vegan and even join in Peter's highly controversial take on babies' foreskins. The titular Some Comedians tonight are Vinay Sagar who's extraordinary ability to remember (today) Pi to the 467th digit is not best displayed here, thanks to an audience who seem unsure as to what Pi is, and Sam Love, who seems less than enthused about the entire thing. But we are given the parting comedy gift of The Ballad of Adolf and Eva and we all go out singing.

Rebecca took to her Instagram stories to post pics of her stay at a luxury lodge taking snaps of a bouquet of flowers, hot tub and a bed with flower petals. She went on to upload two stories of her and her new beau's arms side by side with matching tattoos on their ring fingers. The brunette beauty captioned the post: 'Dream.' The influencer also shared a surprise gift she was brought which included a pair of stunning high heels, to which she penned: " The most perfect surprise (heart emoji)." Rebecca has carved out her own path as a social media star. She's especially popular on Instagram, where she shares lifestyle, fashion, family, and travel content and has over 600,000 followers. Plus, her YouTube channel, Life With MR, gives fans an inside look at her goings-on through vlogs about family adventures, daily moments, and behind-the-scenes snippets. From infidelity rumours to Marcel's return to the Love Island villa this year, Rebecca has faced her fair share of ups and downs in the public eye. The former Blazin Squad member, 39, walked out on wife Rebecca when she was allegedly caught 'cheating' on him with a famous US rapper. Awkward moment Olivia Hawkins looks furious at show co-star in painfully tense All Stars final - and it's NOT Grace or Harriett The couple share a son, Roman, who they welcomed back in 2021 and a little over a year later they tied the knot. Things were going well for the couple until January 2024 when Rebecca was caught being 'unfaithful' to the reality TV star with rapper Slim Jxmmi. The mother of Slim's child, KD, had claimed that Rebecca had sent "intimate messages" to her child's father. KD, took to her social media platforms to share what she had uncovered – even tagging Rebecca and Marcel in the posts for them to see. A source at the time, told The Mirror: "Marcel is absolutely devastated. "Rebecca was his life and he'd changed so many things about his lifestyle to make her happy. "Everything he did, everything he worked for was for his wife and his son. "The poor guy feels like he's in a nightmare and he keeps hoping he'll wake up.' In March 2024, Rebecca made headlines when she publicly apologised for what she called a 'huge mistake' and admitted to 'foolish' actions after the cheating allegations surfaced. The exact timing of their split remains a mystery, but fans were surprised to hear that Marcel was heading back into the villa, since he was still legally married to Rebecca. It turned out that the pair were in the process of divorcing. 8 Marcel walked out on wife Rebecca when she was allegedly caught 'cheating' on him Credit: Rex 8 The couple share a son, Roman, who they welcomed back in 2021 Credit: Instagram
