Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has said she feels “extremely lucky” as she shared an update on her family.

The Australian professional, who has been on the BBC show since 2017, recently announced that she had become an aunt after her brother Andrew had welcomed a baby boy, Roman Giuseppe, with his wife Melissa.

In a subsequent update on Instagram, Dianne has shared that she has returned to Australia to meet baby Roman for the first time as well as checking in on her family, with the star sharing a video of the reunion.

The clip began with Dianne sharing a cup of coffee with her parents before seeing Roman and his sister Zofia, with the dancer then snapped as she held her baby nephew for the very first time.

The video continued with Dianne quizzing Zofia on her favourite colour and food, with the youngster showing off her drawing to the camera. Zofia was then shown doing the hair for Dianne’s boyfriend Joe Sugg, who had embarked on the trip with her.

“Today was a good day we woke up in Australia had a morning coffee with mum and dad met baby Roman saw how much miss zofia had grown” wrote Dianne in the caption, before she previewed the remainder of her trip.
