Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg have shared their exciting baby news in a heartwarming social media post.

The couple first met on the BBC series in 2018, when professional dancer Dianne was partnered with YouTuber Joe. Together, they made it to final of the competition before becoming runners-up.

While the pair might not have won the glitterball trophy, they managed to win each other's hearts and have been in a relationship ever since.

Now, in a sweet Instagram post, the couple have announced that they're expecting their first child, who will be born next year.

The video, captioned "Our little baby boy ❤️ we cannot wait to meet you", saw the parents-to-be toiling away as they painted a blank canvas in their living room.
