Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell shares 'scary' birth story
Buswell says the emergency operation left her struggling to move, but she still plans to return to Strictly Come Dancing and may have another child.
Professional dancer Dianne Buswell is returning to Strictly Come Dancing for her 10th year after welcoming her first child, Bowden, in March with partner Joe Sugg.
Following her emergency C-section, Buswell told The Sun she had feared being axed during her pregnancy, though the BBC supported her return and accommodated her as a working mother.
Describing the recovery, Buswell said, "I remember crying in his arms because I was in so much pain," relying on partner Joe Sugg to help her from bed.
On the show's hosting changes, Buswell called the new lineup "quite genius," noting that replacing Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly was difficult but confident in presenters including JoJo.
Strictly returns on Saturday, September 19, with five new professional dancers, featuring a launch show where celebrities and professionals discover their partners live on stage for the first time.
