Strictly Come Dancing 2018 duo Joe Sugg, 27, gushed over his dance partner Dianne Buswell, 29, in a sweet Instagram post this week, after the pair previously denied they were more than friends. The YouTube star posted a snap of the pair gazing into each other’s eyes with the caption: “I may not have won the Glitterball, but I’ve won something a million times more special.” Along with other Strictly stars, Neil Jones commented on the snap writing: “Yes u did,”(sic) followed by a winking emoji. Now, the 36-year-old has responded to a social media user, who asked: “Are Joe and Dianne dating?”
Despite the apparent confirmation from the new couple, the dancer replied: “I don’t know but they will make a great couple.”
Since the end of the series this month, the duo have seemingly been inseparable.
Earlier this week, Joe and Dianne enjoyed a getaway together with Joe’s sister Zoe, also known as Zoella, and her boyfriend.
The pair cosied up in a hot tub and enjoyed a chilled night with their companions wearing onesies.
Elsewhere on the show this year, Neil’s wife Katya Jones, 29, was pictured kissing her dance partner Seann Walsh, 32, during a night out in October.
The dancing duo apologised for their antics, referring to it as a “drunken one-off”.
At the time, Katya said the pair’s kiss didn’t reflect on her five-year marriage to Neil.
Taking to her Twitter, she wrote: “I’m so sorry about any offence or hurt I may have caused with my actions.
“I wasn’t thinking and it was a one-off mistake after some drinks.
“I love my husband and we are very happy together, this is not a reflection on our relationship.”
Following their kiss, Seann split with his girlfriend of five years Rebecca Humphries.
Days before Katya and Seann’s kiss, Neil spoke out about the so-called Strictly curse.
The “curse” refers to relationships that have ended following a stint on the BBC talent show.
He told Heat Magazine: “It’s just one of them things where I just say, is it real?
“If they want to cheat, they will cheat no matter what. I don’t think it’s a curse it just happens.”
Neil went on to say Katya often came home with bruises after intense rehearsals with the comedian.
He said: “Katya comes homes with bruises all the time, I think Seann has dropped her a few times.
“He writes messages to me apologising but I just say don’t worry about it. I drop her all the time, she’s used to it.”
