Strictly Come Dancing fans were left wondering why Dianne Buswell missed the recording of this year’s opening professional group dance
The routine was designed to introduce five new dancers and signal a fresh chapter for the BBC series, making her absence particularly noticeable
Buswell, who welcomed her first child with Joe Sugg in March, has reportedly been rehearsing with the professional cast for weeks
Although the BBC declined to comment, a programme insider said viewers had no reason to worry and confirmed that Buswell is expected to appear in most group performances this series.
