Strictly Come Dancing fans were keen for Dianne Buswell to swap her trademark red hair colour for brunette after falling in love with her hair transformation last weekend.
The professional dancer, 34, who is partnered with fan favourite Bobby Brazier, transformed into Baby, played by Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing, wearing a brunette wig styled in a lob (a long bob). Dianne and Bobby performed their dance routine to the iconic I've Had The Time Of My Life. Dressed in a flattering baby pink sequined dress, Dianne showcased her brunette look, appearing incredibly natural. Meanwhile, Bobby opted for an all black outfit with a black vest top and matching trousers.
Taking to social media one fan wrote: "Petition for Dianne to have brown hair, because she looks so good." Another fan added: "Beautiful. Dianne looks like Natalie Wood". Bobby and Dianne were left disappointed with their performance after their lift did not go according to plan, like it had in rehearsals.
Taking to Instagram, Dianne wrote: "Gutted the LIFT didn't go according to plan like it had in most rehearsals. But I do have to say we took a risk and didn't play it safe that dance was hard and so iconic, that of course there was pressure to do it justice. And the feeling of just not quite getting it was a bit low for us."
She added: " HOWEVER Bobby wanted to challenge himself and so did I and that is success and growth in its self... lets focus on the amazing parts of the dance, the fact Bobby was leading me around the floor, his hips,footwork, expression and just overall improvement for a guy who started dancing only 11 weeks ago, is incredible.Your strength,your movement has improved so much and I'm sure so many people agree."

In response to Dianne's post, James wrote:" It's such a difficult lift especially with the added pressure - such a shame but it was a fantastic job of probably the most famous dance in history - gave me goosbumps from the nostalgia."
Despite her disappointment Dianne sparked excitement among her fans when she announced a new addition to her family. The dancer revealed that she is to become a aunty for the second time as her brother Andrew and his partner are pregnant again.
Dianne re-posted a message that Andrew posted that read: "This is how excited Zofia is to become a big sister in May 2024 .. our little bee hive is growing and we are Buzzing with excitement.” And Dianne reacted to the post, writing: “soooooo excited big sis zosha." Dianne then shared the images via her Instagram stories along with a message of her own. She wrote: “I can’t deal… you’re going to be the best big sis! And I’m gonna be an aunty to another beautiful niece or nephew. Congrats.”
