Dianne Buswell has declared 'we did it' as she celebrated the end of her and her co-star Vito Coppola's first major move together away from Strictly Come Dancing.
The pair announced their plans to hit the road together in a joint tour in May 2024, but the string of shows across the country officially kicked off last month (June).
The tour, titled Dianne and Vito: Red Hot and Ready, came from those behind Burn The Floor, a live dance show which has performed around the world, with Strictly's creative director Jason Gilkison behind what fans got to witness during the tour.
During the string of dates, the dancers were watched by some of their Strictly pals, particularly when they performed at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End, while more recently, Strictly pro Gorka Marquez and Vito's winning dance partner Ellie Leach watched them more locally in Manchester.
But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and on Saturday (July 26), Dianne and Vito performed their last show of the tour ahead of their imminent return to the Strictly bubble as rehearsals are set to begin for the upcoming series.
In a video shared to her Instagram Story, Dianne and Vito could be seen on stage giving eachother a high-ten, not a high-five, before pulling each other into a warm embrace.

Alongside the clip, Australian star Dianne shared: "WE DID IT @vitocoppola," before adding: "I wouldn't do this with anybody else my dear, dear friend. Thank you!"
The end of the toru comes, as mentioned, as Dianne and Vito are set to return to the Strictly ballroom this autumn. The show winners were announced as part of this year's pro line-up back in April.
As well as Dianne and Vito, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden. Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Karen Hauer, Gorka Marquez and Luba Mushtuk will all also take to the floor once more.
Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley and Michelle Tsiakkas will all also be back in the ballroom when the 2025 run of the BBC One dance contest gets underway.
But that's not the complete line-up as when the initial announcement was made, it was also revealed that two brand new professional dancers will be making their debut, with them set to be revealed closer to the return of the show.
