Joe Sugg has appeared to confirm he is dating his Strictly Come Dancing partner Dianne Buswell.

The pair were romantically linked during their time on the BBC One competition but would not say whether they were an item.

On Sunday, a day after the Strictly final, Sugg posted a picture of the pair gazing into each other's eyes on Instagram.

"I may not have won the glitter ball, but I've won something a million times more special," he wrote.

The picture went down a storm with fans online.

"Oh my god crying!" said one excited person on Instagram, while another gushed: "My heart can't handle this!"

"Saw the look of love many a time, could not hide it," said another.

YouTuber Sugg, 27, Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer, lost out to documentary maker Stacey Dooley on the dancefloor.

Strictly Come Dancing attracted a peak of 12.7 million viewers for the final as Dooley and Kevin Clifton were crowned champions.

The conclusion to the hit series saw a drop on last year's figures, when Joe McFadden lifted the glitterball trophy in front of a peak audience of 13.1 million.

Saturday night's instalment was seen by an average of 11.7 million, slightly up on the 11.6 million watching the end of the celebrity dance competition in 2017. The audience share was 54.4%, slightly down on last year's figure of 55.9%.
