Dianne Buswell makes sweet nod to baby boy in first Strictly glimpse after pregnancy news

Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has delighted fans as she posed in a stunning promotional picture ahead of tonight's launch show – days after announcing her pregnancy.

Dianne, 36, announced earlier this week that she and boyfriend Joe Sugg were expecting their first child together. The couple took to Instagram on Sunday evening to announce that they were expecting a boy. As Joe said: "Our little baby boy, we cannot wait to meet you".

Now, days after the news which delighted Strictly Come Dancing fans ahead of the BBC's show's epic launch tonight, Dianne has made a sweet nod to her baby boy.

In a promotional shot of herself turned with her back to the camera, Dianne is sporting a sparkling silver dress with blue tassels. She accessorised the look with a silver choker and blue and silver drop earrings, as well as blue eyeliner – which some fans have suspected is a sweet nod to her unborn baby boy.

Dianne posted the photo on her Instagram and wrote in the caption: "There she goes again officially about to kick of my 9th season

"Strictly launch show is on tonight 18.40 @bbcone @bbcstrictly who’s tuning in @jessieefromtheblock".

Fellow Strictly pros and fans were quick to gush over Dianne and her recent baby news in the comments. Amy Dowden, who is set to return again this year, wrote: "a very special pic xxxx".
