But at the time they were paired up, Dianne was in a relationship with former Emmerdale actor Anthony Quinlan.
Although Dianne didn’t lift the glitterball in 2018 with Joe, she later said she had ‘won something a million times more special’.

“You’d rather be with your family, wouldn’t you?” Lucy says, before Jon hits back: “I wouldn’t go that far.”

In an interview with Heart Radio, she said: “Obviously we spend so many hours with our partners, but we’re professional dancers. We have done this our whole lives.
