Joe Sugg has broken his silence after Bobby Brazier “tried to kiss” his dance partner Dianne Buswell after their latest performance on Strictly Come Dancing.
On Saturday night (November 5), the pair performed a passionate Argentine Tango to Sail by AWOLATION. At the end of their routine, it appeared the EastEnders actor, 20, leant in for a real kiss as fans claimed Dianne “pulled away”.
Dianne, 34, has been in a long-term relationship with her ex-Strictly partner Joe Sugg since 2018 after meeting on the BBC show. But the near-kiss didn’t seem to faze the YouTuber as he threw his support behind the pair after their performance.

Sharing a clip of their dance online, Joe wrote: “Wow Amazing!! Well done you two @diannebuswell @bobbybrazier. LOVED IT.” Strictly fans also shared their thoughts on social media, with one writing: “Not that it means anything bc i know Dianne is happy with Joe but i’m 99% Bobby went in for a kiss after that dance… got a bit caught up in the moment I think.”
A second added: “Whoa hold on a minute !!! Did we just see a full-blown kiss at the end of Bobby and Diane’s dance I’m sure we did !!” Another echoed: “Cutting it dangerously close to a curse there I thought they kissed for a sec.”
A fourth asked: “Did Bobby and Diane just kiss or we’re they just very close together.” While someone else simply said: “Did um…they kiss?”
The judges also had their say, with Craig Revel Horwood admitting he felt the routine was “too aggressive” and that Bobby wasn’t leading. Motsi Mabuse had a more positive response, saying she could see the soap star had intention and was strong on the dance floor.
They were awarded 30 out of 40 points for the performance. It comes after a TV insider exclusively told Daily Star that Dianne has been forced to tell Bobby that they are just friends.
After spending hours on end together during their training, the source claimed Dianne has also had no choice but to distance herself from Bobby. They said: “Dianne told him, ‘We are good friends, partners, nothing more’.” The insider added that Bobby is “head-over-heels” for her. However, the professional “doesn’t resonate” with the crush.
