EastEnders star Bobby Brazier has paid tribute to his Strictly Come Dancing partner Dianne Buswell on her birthday. The 20-year-old, who competed in last year’s series with Dianne, posted a series of photos to his Instagram Stories to celebrate the Australian’s 35th birthday.
Bobby and Dianne became firm friends when they were paired together on Strictly last year. The duo made it to the 2023 final where they came third in the competition, with Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola winning and Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin coming in second place.
The first snap Bobby shared with his followers was a mirror selfie of the pair during training rehearsals for Strictly. Bobby wrote: "It's big D's birthday." He then posted a compilation of some of their dances on Strictly, which was seemingly made from a fan account.

Another photo showed Bobby spinning Dianne, who is in a relationship with YouTuber Joe Sugg, around upside down on the dancefloor, as he wrote: "Some of the biggest smiles and moodiest faces." In another clip, he could be seen picking Dianne up and attempting to put her in the bin, writing: "You needed to be put in the bin often."
The next post saw the pair sharing a few hugs as they celebrated at various points throughout the BBC dancing show. In another photo, they sat side by side during an interview on This Morning, as Bobby wrote: "And was a joy from the beginning."
Finally, Bobby posted a picture of him and Dianne hugging, as he wrote: "I love you," with a finger pointing emoji, before adding: "And thank you. You're my family," with a red love heart. Try WalesOnline Premium for FREE by clicking here for no ads, fun puzzles and brilliant new features.
