Dianne Buswell has shared an 'exciting' update with one of her Strictly Come Dancing co-stars as she hinted their work together is set to continue.

Fans of the BBC One dance contest's 2024 winner will be aware that she recently wrapped up touring the country alongside her co-star and friend, Vito Coppola.

The pair revealed back in May 2024 that they would be going on a joint tour, titled Dianne and Vito: Red Hot and Ready.

Confirming the news at the time, the dancers shared a fiery poster for the show and said: "We are so, so excited to finally introduce you all to our brand new show DIANNE & VITO 'Red Hot and Ready' presented by Burn the Floor."

They added at the time: "We’ve been working on this project for such a long time and we cannot wait to share this special show with the whole of the UK in 2025!"

The tour has since taken place, with rave reviews from fans, and Dianne and Vito performed their last show of the tour on July 26, which came just before rehearsals got underway last Monday (July 28) for the 2025 series of Strictly.

Having just one day off to rest, Dianne took to social media on Tuesday morning (July 29) to reflect on her and Vito's joint move. She shared a video in which she could be seen heading out onto the stage for the last time for the final bows.

Alongside the post, the Australian star shared: "The show finished and we jumped straight into another strictly season I haven’t really had a chance to reflect until now.

"This moment right here was so special. Vito and I want to thank every single person who took the time to come and see our show we genuinely can’t belive the response and we are so grateful to you all."

She the rounded off their message by adding: "This was our final bow ……… for now." Vito was quick to respond, as he commented on the post: "LOVE LOVE LOVE," before fans rushed to share their own messages.

But now, both Dianne and Vito have seemingly confirmed that's not the last time you'll see them together away from the Strictly ballroom, after they were both confirmed to be in the pro line-up for the next series earlier this year.

Taking to their new Instagram page, the pair could be seen speaking directly the camera in a new video together. Dianne started by saying: "It's Dianne and Vito. Firstly, we just wanted to say a massive thank you to every single person who came to watch us perform in the show.

"We are very, very grateful to each and every one of you. Lots of love!" She laughed: "But unfortunately, it has come to that part in the evening... But don't worry... we have one more dance," clearly repeating what they said on stage before their encore.

Dianne then explained: "No, we just wanted to say that this is our new page and we would love you all to follow us because we have lots of exciting stuff coming up and we don't want you to miss out on all the fun and all the excitement...."

Vito interjected: "Stay tuned, get in touch, and get updated on our pages because, I did have to close my mouth otherwise I'm going to say everything, and we have good, beautiful news and new projects to come. They are coming soon!"

Dianne rounded off by saying: "Lots of love and we'll see you soon!" as Vito blew kisses to the camera. The caption alongside the post also read: "Come and join the fun! Exciting stuff is coming ……… @vitoanddianne."
