Dianne Buswell is one of the fifteen professional dancers taking to the stage tonight for the second live show of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing. The 36-year-old triumphed on the show last year with Scouse comedian Chris McCausland and went on to lift the glitterball trophy after several memorable performances.
This year, Dianne’s celebrity partner is fellow Aussie, actor and singer Stefan Dennis. She first came to Strictly back in 2017 and the following year was partnered with YouTube influencer Joe Sugg, now 34.
The pair have been dating since meeting on the BBC dance show in 2018 and last month, shared the incredible family news that they are expecting their first child. They shared a short clip with the Instagram followers as Joe said: “Our little baby boy. We cannot wait to meet you.”
Building a happy life together away from the dancefloor, in recent years the couple swapped their four-bedroom detached home for a five bedroom house in Brighton, worth £3.5million. The house, which was previously owned by footballer Lewis Dunk, is 7,741 square foot in size and has five bathrooms, six reception rooms, an open plan kitchen and a lounge.
It also has fitted with a gym and a indoor heated swimming pool. When they aren’t working on other projects, Dianne and Joe sometimes offer a glimpse into their home life on Instagram.
The couple’s home is tastefully decorated with a neutral colour palette . But it’s the vast array of comfy soft furnishings that give their house a warm and cosy feel.
Inside the living room, you can open fire, a large flat screen television and a huge sofa. Offsetting the neutral and grey tones of the couches is the wooden side tables, with candles and more warmth coming from the lovely hanging lights in the corner of the room.
Another living area keeps within this colour scheme – boasting a huge cream rug and white woollen chairs. Decorated with beautiful, large, plants, natural light pours in through the windows, which lead to the garden.
Many will recognise this area as the spot where Dianne and Joe filmed their pregnancy announcement. And elsewhere in the house is just as chic.
Heading into the kitchen, Dianne often films Instagram reels in this stunning space. A large, marble top island is at the centre, with sleek grey units, shelves and cupboards behind.
With so much space for storage and decoration, one shelving unit displays cake boxes, books and mix-matching mugs – plenty to host guests. Heading upstairs, one of the bedrooms is minimalistic, but aesthetic.
The cosy bed has woven, cream pillows – similar to those found in the living area – and more wicker lampshades. The sage green bedding gives a pop of colour and gives a beach house feel.
For the couple, this may be an obvious décor choice as they live in the seaside. Inside Dianne and Joe’s magnificent home, there is also an incredible cinema room.
The room has dark with grey walls and a grey carpet, which emphasises the light and colour coming from the large TV on the wall. The couple and guests can also fit on long cream couch to watch the latest’s film and TV series’.
Dianne previously shared this photo from inside the cinema room in support of fellow Strictly professional, Amy Dowden. here, Dianne, Joe and friends watched her powerful documentary.
Dianne and Joe are not only lovers of dance, but also fitness. So it make sense that part of their amazing home is a dedicated gym.
