Strictly Come Dancing pro Dianne Buswell has admitted she’s “relieved” to have been partnered with bookies’ favourite Bobby Brazier.
Professional dancer Dianne was partnered with model and EastEnders star Bobby during Saturday night’s (September 16) pre-recorded pairing show.
But before the pairings had even happened, 20-year-old Bobby was already the favourite to win the series – so there’s no wonder Dianne, 34, was excited.
