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.

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."
