What's the gender of Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg's baby?
Not keeping us guessing over the sex of their baby, they confirmed they would be expecting a boy in the new year.
Their Instagram announcement read: "Our little baby boy. We cannot wait to meet you."
Why did Dianne Buswell have to deal with pregnancy backlash?
Upon returning to Strictly Come Dancing 2025 and being given a celebrity partner, it seems the professional became the recipient of some strong online opinions. While many are happy for her and Joe, some thought she shouldn't be on the dance floor.
Taking to social media to make a statement, she wrote: "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. 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 will be the first pregnant person to compete on the show.
How did Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg meet?
For those who don't know, Dianne and Joe struck up a romance while competing on Strictly together in 2018.
They made it to the finals together but were beaten by Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley.
