The post by Dianne has sent fans of the duo into a frenzy, as it followed the cute photo Joe shared that seemingly confirmed their relationship.

It's been quite a series, with the 'Strictly curse' also striking when contestants Seann Walsh and partner Katya Jones were caught kissing on a night out despite both being in relationships.

The scandalous pictures that emerged were not enough to break Katya Jones' marriage with fellow Strictly professional Neil Jones, but it led to Seann being dumped by his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphrieswhich she announced in a dramatic Twitter post.
