Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell and her partner Joe Sugg enjoyed a trip to Belgium together recently for her birthday ahead of this year’s BAFTA Television Awards
Content creator Joe Sugg has revealed that he went away with Dianne Buswell on a “spontaneous” trip abroad ahead of her birthday yesterday. The couple have shared photos from the recent holiday with fans on social media this week.
Dianne, 36 – who is best known as one of the dancers on Strictly Come Dancing – has been met with well wishes for her birthday. Her partner Joe, 33, celebrated the occasion on Instagram with photos from their time in Belgium.
The couple – who met when they were partnered together on the BBC show back in 2018 – visited the city of Bruges together just a few days ago. Whilst on the trip, Dianne and Joe enjoyed some sightseeing, including on a canal cruise.
Alongside a selection of photos from their time away, Joe wrote in his post yesterday: “A little spontaneous trip to Bruges for [Dianne’s] birthday.” Beside a heart emoji, he concluded by writing to her: “Happy birthday my love.”
Dianne had previously asked for recommendations from her followers on the platform amid the trip. She made the request in a post that included footage of the pair exploring the city, which is considered a tourist destination.
She wrote in the caption on Sunday: “Today’s story. I love exploring with you [Joe].” Dianne tagged a tourist information office before saying to fans: “If you have any Bruges recommendations please leave in the comments.”
More recently, the Strictly winner shared photos from the trip. She wrote in a post on Monday: “A few special days in Bruges.” She added: “Thank you to everybody who sent us recommendations [Joe] #bruges #travelgram.”
She was met with reaction in the comments section this week. One person wrote: “Lovely photos, looks amazing. Love all your outfits.” Another said: “What a lovely selection of pics! Perfect way to spend the lead up to your birthday.”
“What a lovely way to celebrate your birthday eve,” a third person reacted to the post. Another follower said: “Gorgeous photos.” Whilst someone else wrote to Dianne: “Oh cute! Looks like you are having the absolute best time.”
Others commented on the destination. One fan said: “Looks stunning. I love how pretty the buildings look everywhere there.” Another wrote in their reply to Dianne’s post: “Looks beautiful, adding it to my list of places to visit.”
Her birthday comes just days ahead of this year’s BAFTA Television Awards. Dianne is among the nominees for the awards ceremony, which will be held on Sunday at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London.
Dianne and comedian Chris McCausland are nominated for the P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award for their waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone on Strictly last year. They’re up against ‘memorable moments’ from Bridgerton, Gavin and Stacey, Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Rivals and the Traitors.
She previously told fans: “A few years ago Joe and I were invited to go watch the BAFTAs! My makeup lady asked if I was a nominee I remember thinking it would be so amazing if I actually was! Fast forward to now and it’s come true.”
Dianne added at the time: “Team there’s only a few days left to vote for this special moment. I watched it again just now and yes tears streamed down my face especially when Chris says thank you at the end. It truly was such a special moment.”
