Strictly’s Joe Sugg opens up about Australian Christmas with girlfriend Dianne Buswell
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Joe Sugg has opened up about his annual Christmas dilemma with girlfriend Dianne Buswell.
The YouTube star and podcaster has been in a relationship with the Strictly pro dancer since 2018, when the two were partnered together on the BBC dancing show.
In an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, Joe confirmed that the two would be spending the festive season together, but that the location was still yet to be decided.

"I am tied between two continents," he told us. "There’s the option of staying at home for Christmas, my sister is expecting another baby soon, so I’m going to be an uncle again for the second time, which I’m so excited about."
"But then also, there’s also the chance of going to Australia as well, which is also wicked."
Since the interview, Joe's sister Zoe Sugg and fiancé Alfie Deyes have welcomed their second child together, a daughter named Novie Nell Deyes.

Joe's girlfriend Dianne hails from Australia and has family members still living over there.
If the two decided to spend this Christmas in Oz, it wouldn't be the first time for Joe. The podcast host reflected on his previous Australian Christmas and how the experience was hard to get his head around at first.
"It took a bit of time adapting to it. For me, I couldn’t quite grasp the idea of building a sand snowman on Christmas Day on a beach in 35-degree heat," he told us. "But the weather we’ve been having recently and all these storms, I’m a bit like, 'Bring it on'.
"I’d be more than happy to go down under and have a barbecue for Christmas instead," he added. "So I'm spoilt for choice."
Dianne is currently busy appearing on this year's Strictly Come Dancing with dance partner Bobby Brazier. The two will battle it out for a chance to win the Glitterball Trophy in the live final, airing this Saturday night (December 16).
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
Tickets for Strictly's 2024 live arena tour are available now.
