Strictly’s Dianne Buswell dances with hunky Gladiator in black mini dress as fans beg BBC bosses to pair them together
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has put Gladiators’ Nitro through his paces and now fans want them to pair up.
The professional dancer ran through some moves with hunky athlete Harry Aikines-Aryeetey behind the scenes at the BBC.
Dressed in a black mini dress, bubbly redhead Dianne beamed as she twirled with the muscly star, who was dressed in his Gladiators Spandex.
Team GB sprinter Harry appeared to have surprisingly light feet and a delicate poise leading followers to demand BBC bosses cast him in this year’s Strictly, preferably with Dianne.
One commented: “Love it! It’s a ten form me! Get him on next season and should be partner up with you.”
Another said: “Get him on next season.”
A third posted: “Iconic!! The crossover I never thought of.”
A fourth wrote: Ooh you two look good together, strictly beckons Harry AA?”
The Gladiators reboot launched last night and Harry showed off his macho side during a mix of new and old games.
Two male and two female contestants went toe to toe with the new batch of Glads and viewers loved the feelgood nostalgia that it generated.
Meanwhile Dianne and boyfriend Joe Sugg looked loved-up in a series of selfies yesterday in an seeming clap back at romance rumours surrounding her and Strictly partner Bobby Brazier.
The Aussie pro flashed a smile as she went for a chilly winter walk with the social media star – just days after her BBC show partner confessed he “loved” her for the second time.
The lovebirds wrapped up warm, with Dianne, 34, opting for a black knit hat and neon green jacket.
The BBC favourite – who reached Strictly Come Dancing‘s 2023 final with EastEnders actor Bobby, 20 – went makeup-free but couldn’t be missed courtesy of her striking red hair.
Joe, 32, who first found fame on YouTube, donned a blue hat and khaki jacket.
Dianne wrote in her caption: “Two and a half hours later,” before tagging Joe’s account.
The pair met during Joe’s stint on Strictly in 2018 and have been together ever since, capturing fans’ hearts as their romance played out.
Her morning off came after she had been in training with Bobby for the Strictly arena tour – with The Sun capturing the model holding her face in his hands.
Our exclusive images also showed Bobby touching her mouth with his finger in a London hotel lobby.
It came shortly after Jade Goody‘s son declared his “love” for Dianne for the second time – leading some to slam his “disrespectful” behaviour towards her long-time love Joe.
One person was quick to vent their fury under Bobby’s recent TikTok video and wrote: “He really is not beating these allegations saying stuff like that,” Bobby quickly swiped back: “Not my job to beat allegations.”
Bobby sparked suggestions of something more than friendship with the Aussie favourite during their time on the programme, when he branded the red-head “my Juliet.”
The soap star – who lost to actress Ellie Leach in the final bid for the Glitter Ball Trophy – also added to speculation when some fans suggested he attempted to kiss her in one of their routines.
