After the scandalous pictures that emerged of Strictly Come Dancing contestants Seann Walsh and Katya Jones kissing, we didn't think we'd see another couple fall victim to the Strictly curse in the same season. But we were wrong...

It's been revealed by The Sun that dancing couple Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell shared a secret kiss after a boozy night out three weeks ago, before she had broken up with her then-boyfriend and actor Anthony Quinlan.

The pro dancer split from the Emerdale actor last week and many are speculating that it's because of her growing feelings for her dance partner Joe. Uh oh.

A source told The Sun: “Joe and Dianne had chemistry from day one rehearsals.

“In September the cast and crew went out for a few drinks at London’s Reign club after a Julien Macdonald fashion show.

“Joe and Dianne were flirting and laughing all night, and were the talk of the club. They were seen having a quick kiss, and ended up leaving together.”
