Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell’s pregnancy has been a major topic of conversation since she announced her happy news last year. And now is no different as the professional dancer, 36, was forced to address speculation that she had already given birth.
Taking to Instagram, instead of posting a lengthy rant, the BBC star decided to post a hilarious video of herself miming to a scene in Friends.

Posting a reel, Dianne mouthed the words of Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston, when she said: “that’s right, still no baby”, while pushing her pram.
To make her point even clearer, the TV personality, who is having a baby with her long-time partner and former Strictly partner Joe Sugg, opened her coat to reveal her ever growing bump, which loomed over her black leggings.
She captioned the post: “Rather than replying to all the DMs!”

This comes after Joe, 34, who is a social media influencer, set the record straight when it came to the fake baby announcement that was going around the internet.
He assured fans that Dianne was “very much pregnant” after a picture surfaced online for the world to see. At the time she claimed it was “AI malarkey.”
Soon after Dianne announced that she was pregnant, it also emerged that she was part of Strictly’s confirmed pro dancer line-up. But the news caused quite a stir as some of the public believed she should not be dancing while in the early stages of her pregnancy.
The online opinions became topical to the point where Dianne released a statement in response. She wrote at the time: “I can’t believe in 2025 things like this are still being said. Women’s bodies are incredible and I don’t actually think some people realise that.”
She continued: “This will show all of those people who believe this weird, twisted notion that women should hide away when they’re carrying a baby that women are capable of so much more.”
Dianne made history last year as the first pregnant woman to take part in the competition. Dianne and Joe first met in 2018 after being paired together to compete on the BBC show.
They made it all the way to the finals but were pipped to the post by Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley.
Since showing off her unborn son in a series of pictures and videos on social media, Dianne has faced further criticism over her wardrobe, as they were not keen on her constantly showing off her naked belly.
The TV star regularly wears crop tops, rolled up t-shirts and sports bras as oppose to items that cover her bump. And once again, the mum to be addressed the complaints in a funny TikTok video.
In the clip her bump is on show as per usual and over it, she wrote: “But why do you always have your belly out?” Dianne is seen dancing to the song That’s The Way (I like It) by KC and The Sunshine Band.
She then wrote: “Because that’s the way I like it!” And on the back of her video, many hot back at the online trolls and called them out for the “dark ages opinion.”
