Strictly’s Dianne Buswell breaks her silence during an almost-kiss with dance partner Bobby Brazier in steamy Argentine tango as the actor’s blunder almost causes him to miss the interview

Strictly Come Dancing’s Dianne Buswell and Bobby Brazier have broken their silence about their intense performance on Saturday night’s show, which ended in a passionate almost-kiss.

The professional dancer, 34, and the EastEnders star, 20, appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday morning.

However, Bobby made a blunder and got stuck in traffic along the way, forcing him to participate via video link from his car and leaving Dianne alone in the studio.

He apologized to the hosts and said: ‘I don’t know what to say, I’m sorry guys, forgive me.’

But he then put the blame on Dianne, accusing: ‘You didn’t call me this morning, she normally calls me!’

Oops! However, Bobby made a blunder and got stuck in traffic along the way, forcing him to participate via video link from his car and leaving Dianne alone in the studio.

Dianne defended herself and said, “Yes, but this morning I was too busy getting ready.”

The pair then discussed the public reaction to their steamy routine over the weekend after setting tongues wagging with their almost-kiss.

The couple danced the Argentine Tango to Sail by AWLONATION and finished in the middle of the rankings with 30 points out of 40.

At the end of the dance, Dianne slid to her knees into Bobby’s arms as they hugged, their foreheads pressed together.

Discussing the passionate moment, Dianne explained: ‘What I love about dancing is being able to tell a story. It’s like acting, isn’t it.

“We obviously did the dance the right way, if people say that (romantic rumors) then we did a good job with it.”

Bobby added that the routine had been his favorite dance to date, saying: “I loved the story, the intensity and the emotion of it. Listen, I’m ready to turn it all the way up! I enjoy it.’

It comes after Bobby hit back at a fan who complained he felt ‘uncomfortable’ watching the dance.

Commenting on Instagram, the viewer said the routine crossed the line, writing: “I love Dianne, she’s a great dancer and teacher and just like Bobby, but it felt awkward for me to watch and the ending kiss was way too intense. The dance was flawless, but I didn’t like how intimate it looked.”

But Bobby responded to the comments and fired back, simply writing, “Job done.”

Dianne has reportedly been ‘hit hard’ by the investigation into her five-year relationship with Joe Sugg due to her close relationship with Bobby.

The professional dancer is said to be angry about ‘cruel comments’ after Bobby declared his love for her.

Insiders close to Dianne say she is ‘still very much together’ with Joe, 32, but is feeling down after being bombarded with taunts from the YouTuber’s overzealous supporters.

“The cruel comments she has read about her relationship with Bobby – who has been hugely supportive – have hit her hard,” a source told The Mirror.

‘She and Joe are still very much together and he has also been very supportive and made it publicly clear that he supports her.’

Bobby and Dianne declared their love for each other on Lorraine as they discussed their close bond.

Bobby explained, “We spend so much time together every day (during rehearsals).”

Dianne then chimed in, adding, “So if we didn’t like each other that would be a problem!”

Bobby then sweetly joked, “There are times when I don’t like you, but there are also times when I love you.”

Dianne is currently balancing her busy Strictly schedule by spending time with YouTuber boyfriend Joe, who she worked with 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 breakup, he is reportedly still ‘in love’ with her.

He has ‘constantly messaged’ the model and ‘not given up’ on their relationship.
