Strictly fans convinced Dianne Buswell will quit show for one huge reason
Strictly Come Dancing fans everywhere were delighted when Dianne Buswell and her celebrity partner Chris McCausland lifted the Glitterball trophy. Now, fans have changed their tune as some fear this could have been Dianne’s last year on the BBC show.
In a Reddit forum, Strictly fans have a feeling Dianne won’t be coming back and that she’ll leave on a high. One wrote: “I can see Dianne leaving,” one user added in the forum. “I don’t think she’ll be able to top this partnership and this series.” A third speculated that “she’s wanted to branch out into TV as well”.
Another added that she could “easily host a TV show of some description”. Another said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Dianne left to focus either on other career developments or family,” says a third. Finally one wrote: “I can see Dianne is pulling the classic [move] of leaving right after winning.”

Other fans believe Dianne will leave Strictly to start a family with YouTube Joe Sugg. It’s something she has spoken about before telling Closer magazine that starting a family is a case of ‘when, not if’.
Lifting the Glitterball trophy with Chris marked Dianne’s first ever win on the series since she joined in 2017. But that’s not to say Dianne hasn’t come close to winning before, last year, Dianne came second with EastEnders star Bobby Brazier. It was the same in 2018 when Dianne was partnered with YouTuber Joe, after meeting on the show, the pair started dating and have now been together for six years.
Some on the forum however believe Dianne won’t be bowing out just yet. One user argued that they could see “Dianne doing a few more years” and another said: “Totally disagree with most of the comments regarding Dianne. The only reason she wouldn’t be back is if there was a really good reason she couldn’t dance. She’s currently the face of the show and I can see producers giving her a new challenge next year. She lives to dance and I’m not sure she’s ready to stop yet.”
Another likened Dianne to former Strictly star Oti Mabuse who won two years in a row. First with Kelvin Fletcher in 2019, followed by Bill Bailey in 2020. The user said: “I can also see her doing one last series while she figures out what’s next – like Oti did after her win with Bill.”
