by Strictly Pro Dianne Buswell (36) and Youtuber Joe Sugg (34) have announced that you are expecting your first child.
The couple announced the news – and the gender of the baby – on Sunday on social media and labeled a video: “Our little boy. We can’t wait to meet them.”
The couple met when it was in series 16 of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 and since then were fan favorites. Last year Buswell raised the glitter ball with comedian Chris McCausland, the first blind winner of the show.
Timing means that Buswell, who was born in Australia, will drive to the strict dance floor this autumn while it is pregnant. It is not yet known which of the 15 participants will be your partner – this will be announced in the first show on Saturday.
Busswell previously said that the prospect of motherhood was “hard” because her job was “demanding”.
“It is difficult to balance and think about it,” she said at the beginning of this year to The Sun. “There would be a lot of thought about it, but at some point we will arrive there one day, but a lot will happen at the moment. It will happen if it should.”
How could your pregnancy change strictly routines and participation with such strictly intensive months?
Pregnancy does not mean that the break is pressed during training, but some changes. At the moment, the NHS instructions suggest that women can often carry out a large part of their usual activities, but with some adjustments.
What could that look like for a Pro dancer in one of the biggest shows in the UK? We spoke to a prenatal personal trainer about the way the pregnancy could affect the strict 2025 trip from Buswell.
1. It will continue to dance – but not exactly as before
The good news? The NHS emphasizes that activation during pregnancy facilitates adaptation to the changes in the body, improve blood circulation and even help at work.
“It requires some modifications, but in general the Council is very positive that physical activity in pregnancy improves the health results for mother and baby,” says Marianna Engall, specialist in front of and postnatal exercise towards Yahoo UK.
Current guidelines recommend pregnant women, 150 minutes with medium intensity per week, including strength training. But as Engall emphasizes, “the guidelines are based on an average woman. In this case, they are not specific to an athlete or a professional dancer.”
This means that Buswell’s training is tailored to you. “Experts know what your body is going through. You educate and show this person together, and together you can determine what the right approach is and when you need to be changed if you do not have to change.”
2. Lifts can look different
Strict is famous for its dramatic elevators and rotations, but pregnancy will probably mean creative improvements.
“The modifications would be and especially for them if they do not bump. Therefore, avoid certain contacts in relation to the elevators … they will probably find more modifications during pregnancy,” says Engall.

That doesn’t mean losing the WoW factor. “She may make a different jump that is better supported with her partner,” explains Engall. “It will be trusted with her partner of what she feels able and will work with the choreographer.”
The balance will also play a role, says Engall. “In the course of pregnancy, you are dealing with a change in the focus to the body, the influence on the balance and the navigation of a different body shape.”
3. The emotions could run higher than usual
The rehearsal studios are most likely hot, and the stage lights and costumes of Strictly only contribute to the intensity.
“You may find that Buswell gets much hotter than normal and that it quickly gets more tired. It may need breaks much more frequently,” Engall continues.
And it is not just physical changes, adds Engall. “The other thing is that their emotions have massively tightened due to hormones, and it is still an emotional show, so I would expect a few more tears, because that is all part and plot to change during pregnancy to cope with changed hormones.”

4 .. Security controls are built into everything
Engall emphasizes that of course the preventive injury will have driven strictly at the center of Buswells.
“If pain or bleeding has increased, your team would have to stop and examine and see what is going on there.
She says that behind the scene tests will probably also be available.
Engall was crowned by the Active Pregnancy Foundation, a charity that supports women to remain active during pregnancy during pregnancy. She says that the charity organization has a very thorough prenatal health -screening -tool and other resources that everyone can access when he wonders: “Can I train during pregnancy?”.
“This screening tool excludes the small number of women who should not train during pregnancy. At the point at which they were first told the team that they were pregnant, I hope that they had made potential red flags through what they would have excluded from the start.”

The participation of Buswell during pregnancy authorizes the authorization
For Engall, the message enables: “The main thing is that there are health experts who know what happens, who have this experience and who can advise that the focus is on what they can do, and not on what they cannot do. Ultimately, I think that Buswell can take part in this way in order to make women really positive because women who are in pregnancy and capable of pregnancy.
And for most women who want to enjoy an active pregnancy, the message is clear: “If women can stay in motion during pregnancy, they are more of a postpartum and have more active children.
“Well, even if you don’t dance, move on!”
