Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell share a heartfelt embrace as they head home from training in preparation for the Strictly final

Strictly star Bobby Brazier and his partner Dianne Buswell looked as close as ever as they headed home after rehearsals on Tuesday night.

After an incredible journey on the BBC show, the pair have reached the final, where they will compete against Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola and Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin for the glitterball trophy.

As he left another day of training on Tuesday, the 20-year-old appeared in good spirits as he smiled before gifting the professional dancer with a festive chocolate reindeer.

The couple embraced in a sweet hug as they held their chocolate goods and were picked up in their taxis.

In the studio, the pair appeared to put on an energetic performance as they practiced their dancing for Saturday.

For the finale, the pair perform their show dance to a La La Land Medley, suggesting they will adopt a ballroom style for their final number.

They will also bring back their Samba from earlier in the competition to Candi Staton's Young Hearts Run Free.

The couple will also perform their emotional couple's choice dance again, after Bobby dedicated the song to his late mother Jade Goody.

Maxwell's contemporary dance to This Woman's Work left the judges and audience in tears as they flew across the floor.

While rehearsing the three dances, Bobby threw Dianne into the air as she struck an elegant pose with her arms extended in a table lift.

Looking at ease as they left the training room, Bobby donned a bright green quilted North Face jacket while giving his feet a break from his dancing shoes in a pair of UGG slippers.

Meanwhile, Dianne wore a pair of leopard print gym leggings and a black jacket as she headed back to her hotel for the evening.

It comes after Bobby appeared to have a photo of him and Dianne dancing together as his phone's lock screen.

When he got back into the taxi on Monday night, Bobby appeared to have a photo of the pair on the Strictly dance floor, of what could be seen through the car window.

It comes after Bobby declared his love for Dianne on Strictly after the pair ended up in the dreaded dancing competition on Sunday.

They had to take to the dance floor for the second time to perform their Quickstep and compete against Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe for the last spot in the final.

Bobby couldn't contain his emotions as he hugged Dianne and whispered, “I love you so much.”

Although it wasn't easy to be heard above the audience's applause, Dianne, who is dating YouTuber Joe Sugg, quickly returned the affection by telling the actor she loved him too.

The pair have previously dismissed their chemistry as purely platonic, but despite widespread speculation, they are more than friends.

Speaking to the Mirror about it, Dianne laughed and said: “That happens every year, it's just part of it,” before Bobby joked: “Especially when we're both so good-looking.”

Bobby and Dianne were saved by the judges during the dance competition and made it to the 2023 Strictly final.

After sharing the results on Instagram, Dianne shared a gallery of selfies of the pair and told how 'proud' she is of Bobby.

She wrote: 'We are STRICTLY FINALISTS FOR 2023! We are so grateful and excited to be here and yet so emotional to lose the amazing @annabel_croft and @johannesradebe, who were also so deserving of this place and whom we love very much.

“I can't believe the growth I've seen in Bobby, not only in his dancing, but also on a personal level. He came to me as a young 20 year old with lots of energy and the biggest smile and a real passion for learning to dance.

'He really had no idea what ballroom or Latin dancing was, but he has embraced every part of the experience and is now the biggest fan and a brilliant dancer. It makes me so proud and happy!'

She continued, “This man is taking notes that the judges give him and that I give him to try to get better at this art form because he respects it so much and as a professional to see that your celeb just wants to learn to get better while he the best time is music to our ears.

'I am extremely grateful to everyone who brought us here, thank you for voting and supporting us, we see you and appreciate you.

'We now have the chance to take to the Strictly floor again in this incredible final and I couldn't be more excited! We want to make you laugh, feel the love and joy on Saturday evening.

'Come on Bobby, let's do it. Show Britain how good you are and how far you have come.”
