After losing out in Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing final to Stacey Dooley and her professional partner Kevin Clifton, YouTuber Jog Sugg and Dianne Buswell seemed to CONFIRM reports that they are dating!
So when Joe's fellow Strictly 2018 co-star Lauren Steadman joined heat Radio's Emily Segal, we just had to find out some juicy details about the new romance. When Emily asked Lauren about Joe and Dianne's relationship, the paralympian said, “Do you know what? They’ve been an amazing duo throughout the whole journey and I really hope they are together because he’s great, she’s great and he did his hair red for the final.”
It comes after Joe seemingly confirmed his romance last night. Taking to Instagram to share a photo of the two together, Joe wrote, 'I may not have won the glitter ball, but I’ve won something a million times more special.' [sic]
After Saturday night's final, Dianne, who split from Emmerdale actor Anthony Quinlan earlier this year, also took to Instagram to write, 'Where do I begin !!!!!!! I will start with massive congrats to the 2018 Strictly champs @sjdooley @keviclifton well deserved you two 💓'. [sic]
Meanwhile, Joe and Dianne weren't the only rumoured couple from this year's series. As well as all of the drama betweenSeann Walsh and Katya Jones after THAT kiss, Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts was also linked to her partner, Giovanni Pernice.
Speaking to Emily about the reported 'snog' between Ashley and Giovanni, Lauren said, "I left because I hurt my knee so I don’t know, but I do know that I got a text from AJ at about 3am so I know that he rolled in real late. He was like ‘but I will be there for you tomorrow in Birmingham’ [for Sports Personality of the Year Awards]. I’ve heard it was amazing.”
