Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg spark split fears as Strictly star heads to Australia alone

Strictly Come Dancing fans are wondering if Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg are still loved-up ahead of Christmas Day.

Fans of the couple had a lot to say in Dianne's comments on Instagram as the star shared snippets from her solo journey to her home country ready to spend Christmas with her loved ones.

The professional dancer took to social media on Tuesday to let her fans know she was heading Down Under for the festive period, but there was no sign of boyfriend Joe as arrived in Australia.

"I’m Almost in the land of oz !!!! What a difference 24 hours of flying makes [laughing-face emojis]," Dianne captioned a collection of snaps taken on board the long-haul flight. "Then vs now ! been practicing my Australian accent on the plane ! I’m rusty !"

In the images, the Strictly pro - who met Joe on the BBC show in 2018 - can be seen looking glamorous as she sips on fizz and enjoys in-flight luxuries in what appears to be the business class area of the flight.

Snaps taken later on show the dancer in lounge wear and sipping on a hot drink with an eye mask worn on the top of her head as she wakes up at one point during the lengthy journey.

Dianne's fans were quick to wish her well ahead of the star spending Christmas with her loved ones, but some took to the comment section to wonder where Joe was.

“Aw is Joe not with you this year? Have a fab time Dianne xx," one fan asked, as another added: "Are you and joe still together?"

YouTube star Joe - sister of Zoe Sugg - has previously spent Christmas Down Under with Dianne, following the two stars striking up a romance after being paired together on Strictly back in 2018.

"I think they broke up? They haven’t posted together in months," another of Dianne's fans speculated in the comments.

Dianne - who was partnered with Tyler West on this year's series of Strictly - last posted Joe on her main Instagram grid nine weeks ago, as she shared a cute video of them both dancing together at home as she trained for the BBC show.

As many of Dianne's fans wondered where Joe was on Tuesday, some of the star's followers pointed out the couple are both independent people with their own lives.

"Blinking heck late to this party but why all the where's Joe? for goodness sake Dianne is an independent woman like many of us we can fly on our own," one Instagram user declared.

Another added: "They might be a couple but they're still individuals with families to spend time with, not every couple need to be together 24/7, it's healthy to be apart sometimes."

One follower in the know mused how Joe's sister Zoe has previously shared how the star will be spending Christmas with their family this year.

Comments on Dianne's post have since been limited.

In her latest vlog shared on YouTube on Tuesday, Dianne showed fans around the home she and Joe share - as she discussed "our Christmas tree" and admitted she couldn't "take any credit " for some of the stunning decorations Joe has put up in their abode.

The Mirror has approached representatives for Dianne for comment.
