Joe and Dianne admit romance

SO CLOSE: Joe and Dianne after the final

STRICTLY finalist Joe Sugg last night confirmed that he and his TV dance partner Dianne Buswell are an item.

It seems the show’s “curse” has struck again. Just weeks ago, Dianne split from her Emmerdale boyfriend Anthony Quinlan amid rumours he was jealous of the couple’s blossoming relationship.

A source said: “First the celebrities fall victim to the curse, now it’s the dancers.”

YouTube sensation Joe posted a romantic shot of the pair last night saying: “I may not have won the glitter ball, but I’ve won something a million times more special.”

The two had been the centre of constant rumours in recent weeks that they were dating.

And show sources even claimed redhead Dianne had not been home for two weeks as she had been staying overnight at Joe’s pad.

Split

Joe, who dyed his hair red for Saturday’s show, had claimed he was “too busy” for love saying: “We’re so busy dancing! We haven’t got time!”

However he now appears to be telling the world they are actually together.

He posted a lovey-dovey snap on Instagram which showed the pair gazing lovingly at each other.

The image may not go down well with Dianne’s ex.

However, Anthony has previously blamed his and Dianne’s work schedules for their split, saying: “It’s just that distance played a part.”

The two finalists are not the only hot topic of conversation today.

At the show’s wrap party, Ashley Roberts and Giovanni Pernice took to the dance floor and snogged.

A party insider said: “They no longer seemed to care who saw them now the show is over.”
