Strictly star Dianne Buswell looked almost unrecognisable at the weekend as she took to the dance floor alongside her celebrity dance partner, Bobby Brazier.
Taking to her Instagram grid on Sunday, the Aussie dancer, 34, posted a string of glamorous snapshots giving centre stage to her luscious locks. Eschewing her trademark flaming red tresses, Dianne looked wildly different thanks to an expertly styled brunette wig which had fans doing a double take.
The professional dancer donned the glossy, chocolate-hued wig for her spectacular routine which saw her and her dance partner Bobby Brazier perform a sensational Samba to Young Hearts Run Free from Baz Luhrmann’s hit film Romeo and Juliet.
Alongside the gorgeous pictures, Dianne quipped: “Who’s this girl in my camera roll?? brunette buswell !??”.

Also it was so lush having my welsh beauty back in the building where she belongs @amy_dowden and of course @becky_dowden and the ever so handsome @braddykes [waving hand emoji] and there will be a separate post about @bobbybrazier samba hips don’t worry.”
Fans and friends went wild in the comments section, with one writing: “You are beautiful, but you looked exceptionally stunning as a brunette last night,” while a second noted: “Looks gorg! You can pull anything off!”

Dianne’s mind-blowing hair refresh comes after she celebrated an incredible milestone with her boyfriend, Joe Sugg.

She uploaded two photos of the couple, with their heads together and smiling, taken in 2018 and 2023, respectively.
Captioning the post, Dianne simply penned: “2018 vs 2023 [welling up emoji, heart emoji] @joe_sugg.” The star’s fans rushed to comment on the pictures, with many sharing the same sentiment.
One wrote: “As if it’s been 5 years already!! So so cute”. Others added: “Remember the first one like it was yesterday!!! How crazy that it’s been 5 years,” and: “That was FIVE YEARS ago?!”

Away from the spotlight, the happy couple have been going from strength to strength. Taking things to the next level, the smitten couple recently sold their gorgeous home in Surrey and relocated to Brighton where they now live in a luxurious property complete with its own swimming pool and gym.
