Strictly’s Dianne Buswell heartbroken as grandad dies days after Christmas

Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has been left heartbroken following the death of her grandad days after Christmas.

The pro revealed she has been plunged into mourning after spending the holidays with her family in her native Australia.

She jetted Down Under with her boyfriend Joe Sugg , and they were snapped spending time with her grandparents during the trip.

One snap showed the couple posing with her granfather wearing a Santa hat and leaning on a crutch.

Dianne, 30, wrote: "Rest in peace pop. I will cherish all my memories with you forever and ever.

"You were a very special man to so many people. You told me so many stories that I will never forget maybe because you told me the same ones a million times but the way you told them I could listen another million more.

"Love you so much and I know you will be looking down on all of us I’m so glad I got to spend Christmas with you."

Joe has yet to mention the family tragedy, instead posting a picture of him on a beach with his arms wrapped around Dianne.

He captioned it: "Luv er I do."

Dianne has been flooded with messages from her Strictly co-stars who have passed on their condolences after the news.

Emma Barton wrote: "So sorry" with a heart emoji and Johannes Radebe and Giovanni Pernice both added a similar heart.

Amy Dowden wrote: "Sending all my love babe" and Janette Manrara added: "All my love to you and your family."
