Dianne shared her joyful pregnancy news on Instagram back in September ahead of the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing
She was the first professional in Strictly's history to compete while pregnant, before her partner Stefan Dennis was forced to pull out due to injury in 2025
For their pregnancy reveal video, poignantly set to Elton John's Tiny Dancer, Dianne and Joe set up an easel and pretended to paint a picture together, with playful dramatics
The couple added that their first child was due in 2026 and even revealed the sex of their little one, declaring they were expecting a son
The couple were flooded with congratulatory comments from friends and fans, with their fellow Strictly stars leading the well-wishes
Dianne hinted that the birth of their baby son was imminent in February in a sweet update
She created a video montage of her and her partner Joe Sugg's items and then added miniature versions
Joe and Dianne struck up a romance when they were paired together during the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018
Strictly bosses reportedly put contingency plans in place for Dianne as she became the first pregnant star to compete in the competition last year
With the baby due in early 2026, she could have potentially been dancing right up until her due date, forcing bosses to ensure they had a back up plan
Dianne and Joe shared the first sweet snaps of their baby boy Bowden on Wednesday
Meanwhile a Strictly source told Daily Mail: 'This story makes something out of nothing - the plans described have long existed for everyone, and it's misleading to claim otherwise.'
