Strictly's Dianne Buswell and 'worried' Joe Sugg issue joint baby announcement

Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg have disclosed that they've already chosen a name for their unborn son. Earlier this year,  the couple announced that Dianne is expecting their first child, making her the first pregnant dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, In a recent video, the Australian dancer confessed that announcing her pregnancy was the "most nervous" she'd ever been. The pair, who have been an item since meeting on the popular BBC programme in 2018, frequently upload videos to YouTube about their day-to-day lives.

In a video uploaded on 27 October, they revealed that sharing the news with their families made them the most anxious, while telling their fans was less nerve-wracking. Responding to fan queries, Dianne spoke candidly about informing her parents, saying: "It was the most nervous I'd ever been. I was so nervous to tell people, I don't know why. I almost put it off."

Joe concurred that breaking the news to family was daunting. "I think it was because it was such a big life moment," he explained. Speaking directly to the camera, he added: "I was way more nervous to tell friends and family than I was to tell you lot", reports the Mirror.

Dianne chimed in, revealing that her father initially thought they were pulling his leg and that Joe shed tears every time they shared the news with someone new.

The pair also revealed in the video that they've already selected a name for their baby boy, with Joe explaining: "The name that we've come up with, we're not going to share it. We can't really give any clues to it other than I don't really see this name really anywhere.

"I know some people who have it as their surname but it's also the sort of name that can be shortened. I'd say it's quite a unique name but it's not unique as in-," he said, with Dianne adding: "Apple or pear. It's kind of like Joe, isn't it? Cute when you're little, you can call yourself Joseph when you're older."

Joe continued: "Or it could be a good sportsperson name. I've purposefully not said it out loud at all whereas Dianne keeps calling him by that name. I do feel like between now and our due date, which is another thing I don't think we're going to share, I worry that we might end up revealing it by accident. From now on, he's called Derek."

Back in September, Dianne and Joe announced their baby news through an adorable video shared on Instagram.

In the clip, they created a painting before turning the canvas around to reveal the couple drawn as stick figures, alongside a stick baby positioned between them.

They wrote alongside the post: "Our little baby boy, we cannot wait to meet you."

During their video, they also mentioned how fascinating it would be that their son will eventually be able to watch the exact moment his parents first encountered each other.

Certain viewers expressed worry about her continuing to perform whilst pregnant, but she has responded firmly to those detractors.

She shared a video on Instagram showing herself executing a cartwheel.

Across the clip, she penned: "For all those people saying they can't watch a pregnant girl dance! I just can't help it when I hear the beat."

One supporter commented: "I looove this! I think it's so cool to see you still dancing!".

Meanwhile, fellow professional Kai Widdrington remarked: "Tell 'em di."
