Joe Sugg's emotional message for girlfriend Dianne Buswell after Strictly defeat

Joe Sugg paid a sweet tribute to his partner Dianne Buswell after she and Bobby Brazier lost Strictly Come Dancing.

Dianne and Bobby along with Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin were co-runners-up when Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola were announced as this year's winners. EastEnders star Bobby and Dianne performed a Samba and two Showdances but it wasn't enough to win over the viewers.

Joe, who Dianne started dating in 2018, was proud of her and took to social media to praise the dancer as he shared pictures of him and her hugging on the set of Strictly Come Dancing. He said: "Couldn’t be more proud of you @diannebuswell. you have turned @bobbybrazier into the finest ballroom and Latin dancer.

"Every 5am Monday morning dropping you off at the station with bright eyes and a smile on your face, eager to teach and produce brilliant choreography every week."

Saturday was a huge celebration for the stars as Ellie and Vito lifted the Glitterball Trophy. Ellie was lost for words as her name was shouted out, while Vito sobbed as he praised his co-star after a night of incredible performances. Ellie's victory saw her become the youngest winner of the series since it began making show history.

It was out of the hands of the judges this time around, with Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke giving their usual feedback but unable to choose a winner. The public decided on their winner after the vote, securing Ellie and Vito's place in Strictly history.

There were tears and cast members were jumping for joy, as the result came in. The usual celebrations were in full swing, as Ellie and Vito lifted the trophy high before being hugged by their co-stars.
