STRICTLY Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell surprised fans tonight with a throwback photo from her days before she joined the BBC show.

The Australian beauty posed in a tiny dress on stage in a performance from her days as a touring dancer.

Dianne Buswell shared a snap on Instagram from her time before Strictly

The dancer, 32, shared the picture on Instagram during a recent Q&A with her 862k followers.

She looked totally different with dark brown locks, as she oozed confidence on stage.

The Australian professional dancer is known for her stunning bright red locks, but showed off her natural hair.

Dianne joined Strictly back in 2017 and has become huge hit with fans over the years.

Sadly her stint on the 19th series of the BBC dance competition was cut short after her partner Robert Webb quit just days before the fourth live episode.

The Banbury native has had a pretty successful run on the show over the past four years.

She placed second alongside YouTuber Joe Sugg back in 2018.

The pair really hit it off and have been dating ever since.

They recently bought their first home together.

Speaking about their relationship earlier this year, Dianne told us: “I think with Joe and me, it really was meant to be.

“We are such similar people. Joe’s never had a girlfriend, so it’s not like I’m “one of those other girls” for him. We literally did have something very special.

“Obviously, with all your Strictly partners you have a connection because you’re teaching them something new and they really trust you, but with Joe it was a very, very special connection. He’s incredible and I’ve never met anyone like him.”
