Dianne Buswell has made an announcement about what's next for her just over a month after winning Strictly Come Dancing. The professional dancer is still riding high after being crowned champion of the 2024 series.
Dianne and comedian Chris McCausland had no idea what could happen when they were paired together for Strictly's 20th-anniversary series back in September. Another 13 weeks later and Chris, who was Strictly's first-ever blind contestant, and Dianne were left in tears as they lifted the coveted Glitterball trophy
Those watching the final, which aired in mid-December, will have seen they beat tough competition from fellow finalists Miranda actress Sarah Hadland and partner Vito Coppola, Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and dancer Aljaz Skorjanec and JLS singer JB Gill and partner Lauren Oakley to win the competition, which Chris described as 'astonishing'.
Chris and Dianne have since gone their separate ways after Chris was unable to sign up for the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour 2025 due to his own touring commitments with his stand-up show, Yonks!, while Dianne has still hit the road with his fellow show stars.
Now, Dianne is branching out away from the ballroom and has confirmed her first collaboration with online fashion brand In The Style. Her first collection is set to include matching active and comfy looks with the brand’s best-selling sculpt and control leggings and unitards alongside its ever-popular split hem leggings and flares.
Taking to Instagram with a first look at the collection, Dianne said: "So excited to finally reveal my first collaboration with @inthestyle. Launching this Sunday at 6pm. We’re also giving you the chance to WIN THE FULL COLLECTION!! ad.
"I absolutely love this collection from the colours, the material, the fit, everything is so lovely!
