Strictly Come Dancing's professional dancer, Dianne Buswell, has shared a major update about her health.

The Australian dancer, currently partnered with comedian Chris McCausland in the BBC series, regularly keeps fans in the loop with behind-the-scenes happenings through their weekly vlogs.

In this week's instalment of CHRIS's DIAnneRIES, the choreographer disclosed that she had been under the weather.

In a video shared by Chris and Dianne, he questioned why no video was posted on Monday as usual.

To which Dianne replied: “I wasn't very well,” before the Liverpudlian chimed: “I was going to say because we were working really hard.”

The 35-year-old informed Chris: “I wasn't very well on Friday, I wasn't very well Saturday, Sunday was a write-off and Monday I still wasn't very well.”

Dianne discussed her ordeal leading up to the previous weekend, revealing she had been battling a stomach bug and had a rough night on Friday, November 8, but felt better by Saturday.

The duo have captivated audiences with their journey on the BBC show thus far.

Chris, being the competition's first-ever visually impaired contestant, has inspired and won over the nation, emerging as a favourite to clinch the title.

Following their performance on Saturday, the pair were thrilled to learn they had advanced to week nine, set to take place in Blackpool.

Dianne expressed her gratitude to Chris for his support during her recent health woes.

She acknowledged his assistance, telling him: “Full marks to you for helping me through it. You did carry me through that.”

The duo then turned their attention to the forthcoming phase of the contest, Blackpool Week. When the comedian quizzed Dianne on whether Blackpool lives up to its reputation, Dianne enthusiastically assured him that he was going to “bloody love it.”
