YOUTUBE star Joe Sugg has posted a message on Instagram seemingly confirming he has found romance with his Strictly partner, Dianne Buswell.

Joe, whose sister is a fashion vlogger and lives in Hurstpierpoint, wrote on his social media account: “I may not have won the glitterball, but I’ve won something a million times more special.”

The 28-year-old was pictured hugging Ms Buswell with more than one million “likes” on his post. Fans were happy with the news and wrote they had seen the romance evolving. Some also commented the pair looked “cute” together.

After Strictly, Joe has broadened his fan base to older followers.

He has also said he hopes young men would follow in his footsteps and take up dancing. The social media star, as it seems, has not only ended 2018 with new love but he will also host BBC1’s New Year’s Eve concert with Stacey Dooley.

He said: “I’m so excited to be presenting with my fellow Strictly pal Stacey Dooley at the incredible New Year’s Eve concert in London with the legendary band Madness...what a great finale to a terrific year.

Bring on 2019.”

Stacey had also previously commented about Joe’s budding romance. She told Chris Evans on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show: “I haven’t spoken to Joe so I don’t know what I’m allowed to say but Joe is a sweetheart and Dianne is a dream.

“It was a beautiful partnership and we are all very, very happy, whatever happens.”
