The professional dancer revealed her sadness over her partnership with dance partner, turned friend Chris McCausland as she is left to go 'solo'.
Dianne Buswell has revealed her 'sadness' around her partnership with Chris McCausland as she recently had to go 'solo' without her dancing partner.
The duo, who took part in Strictly Come Dancing, have remained good friends away from the ballroom, since being crowned champions of the BBC One dance competition in December.
More recently, Dianne was once again seen celebrating her joint success with comedian Chris, Strictly's first-ever blind contestant, months after they won the 2024 series of the hit dance show.
Earlier this month, the pair received the Memorable Moment Award - which was voted for by the public - at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Their moving Waltz to the Liverpool anthem You'll Never Walk Alone, which they performed again in the Strictly final, was the routine that earned them the nomination.
In the emotional performance, Dianne stepped away from the ballroom floor to allow Chris to dance on his own, before she returned to spin in his arms in a tear-jerking moment.
As Dianne took to the state to collect the award on her own, as Chris was committed to his stand up tour, Yonks!, which he had already delayed to take part in Strictly in the first place.
While accepting their award, Dianne revealed that Chris had prepped her with a few words on his behalf just in case they won. She said: "Chris did have something he wanted me to say, and that is ‘After 22 years in comedy, he wins a Bafta for dancing,"' before joking that he said it "hurts"
Now, Dianne has posted a new photo from the night, looking stunning in a shimmering blue gown that paid homage to the costumes from their award winning performance, as she posed with their blue glass award.
Alongside the post, Dianne wrote: "Love this pic so much taken by @rachell_photo at the @bafta the only thing that makes me sad is Chris is not in it," alongside a blue heart emoji.
"But don’t worry I will keep reminding him daily that he won a Bafta for DANCING @chrismccauslandcomedy," she continued.
Fans were quick to take to the comment section, as one wrote: "It also makes me sad that Chris isn’t in it, hopefully whenever you two meet up again you can do your own photoshoot together," Dianne replied: "Yessss 100 percent. How perfect if he was there with me."
Meanwhile others were keen to comment to compliment Dianne on her outfit, with one writing: "I think this is my fav pic from the night! Gorg!!" As a second penned: "Beautiful. And so happy for you. Well deserved BAFTA. Huge Congrats and so much love Dianne."While another fan gushed over the colour of Dianne's dress, stating: "Out of any colour they could’ve chosen for the Bafta and they went with the blue, it was for sure an absolute sign! forever grateful to the producers who made the decision to partner you both. you deserve every bit of praise and recognition."
