Eagle-eyed Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts reckon Dianne Buswell’s got her dancing shoes at the exit door post-this series.
The 35-year-old dance floor dynamo, who is currently tripping the light fantastic with Chris McCausland and has been on the show since 2017, is tipped off to lift the Glitterball trophy sky-high – and devotees are buzzing that such a win could spell a “last hurrah” for her.
A social media sleuth suggested: “I would say Dianne might leave this year, especially if she wins.”
Another chimed in: “Now that you’ve said it, it does seem likely that this could be Dianne’s last hurrah. Not only because of her massively popular partnership with Chris but also because she’s been getting a lot of prominent roles in the pro numbers.”

The whispers grew louder when Di dropped the bombshell about hitting the road with Vito Coppola for their blazing hot show. Fired up, Dianne shared with fans: “We are so, so excited to finally introduce you all to our brand new show DIANNE and VITO ‘Red Hot and Ready’ presented by Burn the Floor. We’ve been working on this project for such a long time and we cannot wait to share this special show with the whole of the UK in 2025! “, reports the Mirror.
Some fans were left feeling snubbed after noticing that the 27-date tour doesn’t include stops in Scotland or Ireland. One fan lamented: “So exciting! ! However it can’t really be considered a UK tour without a Scotland date.”
Earlier in the year, Dianne opened up about her struggle with an eating disorder that almost made her hang up her dancing shoes for good.
Chatting on This Morning back in March, she shared with hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle how her fixation on food and calories took over her life. She confessed: “You wake up in the morning, and the first thing you think of is, what am I going to eat? How many calories are going to be in that? How much do I need to exercise to burn off those calories? .”
She continued: “It literally is like a planned thing in your mind that doesn’t go away. And that’s when you start to go, ‘Oh, this is a problem because I’m not thinking of anything else.”
Dianne also revealed that being in the competitive dance scene from a young age contributed to her disorder, as she felt compelled to keep her weight down.
She admitted: “I think it comes from when I was quite a young girl. And obviously growing up in the dance world, you’re taught to look a certain way and you see all these other beautiful girls dancing, and you kind of want to look like that and want to be winning like they are. And they look a certain way so I feel like I should look that way. So I think it was something from a really young age.”
