‘Last week I received news about my father’s health and I won’t go into detail, but it obviously affected me.

“Being away from home and not being able to support and help your family in a time of need is quite difficult, so I struggled with that a bit this past week.”

Although Dianne’s family had plans to go to Britain for Christmas and see her on Strictly, she said that wouldn’t happen now.

She said she plans to return home to Australia at the end of this year.

Dianne continued, “There is still a little way to go for my dad, but I 100% believe he will be fine and we will all get through this together.”

She then asked fans to give her father “a little thought or prayer,” which she would “very much appreciate.”

The emotional star continued, “My dad is the sweetest, kindest man you will ever meet and all he really wants is for me to keep going and keep dancing with my little heart and doing what I love because that makes him the best . definitely the most proud.

“Whether I go home with a glitter ball or not, I’m still going to go home and have a warm Christmas.”
