Insiders close to Dianne say she is ‘very much still together’ with Joe, 32, but is feeling down after being bombarded by taunts from overzealous supporters of the YouTuber.
‘The cruel remarks she has read about her relationship with Bobby – who has been really supportive – have hit her hard,’ a source told The Mirror .
‘Her and Joe are still very much together and he has also been very supportive, and made it clear publicly that he has her back.’
And on Sunday, the two shared a series of loved-up snaps together, including swimming together and posing for an outfit mirror selfie.
Dianne is currently balancing her busy Strictly schedule with spending time with YouTuber boyfriend Joe, with whom she was partnered on the 2018 series.
Bobby, meanwhile, was last linked to Waterloo star, Tillie Amartey, also 20, in 2022 and despite it being over a year since their break-up, he is reportedly still ‘besotted’ with her.
He has been ‘constantly messaging’ the model and ‘hasn’t given up’ on their relationship.
The duo were last spotted together on their Instagram Stories in August 2021, with a source saying they ended their relationship in March 2022.
A source previously told The Mirror: ‘Bobby was really keen on her, but she decided to call time on the relationship, feeling they weren’t compatible.’
Bobby has since been linked to Storm model Liberty Love, but their relationship fizzled out.
