Dianne Buswell has revealed the real reason behind her tearful Strictly appearance last Saturday night which sparked concern with her fans. 

The professional dancer, 34, struggled to contain her emotions while chatting to Claudia Winkleman after their routine last week as she held back tears.

She said of Bobby during the chat: ‘He has just been a massive rock this week, so thank you,’ before her voice then broke as she leant into his chest and hugged him. 

And after a week of speculation she has now finally addressed the moment, sadly revealing that her father Mark – who lives in Bunbury, Australia – is unwell.

In a Q&A on her YouTube channel she said: ‘I thought I would be very upfront and honest with you all.

Tough: The professional dancer, 34, struggled to contain her emotions while chatting to Claudia Winkleman after their routine last week as she held back tears

‘Last week I got some news about my dad’s health and I won’t go into detail, but obviously that affected me.

‘Being away from home and not being able to support and help your family in a time of need is quite a difficult thing so I did struggle a little bit last week in terms of that.’

While Dianne’s family had plans to head to the UK for Christmas and watch her on Strictly, she said that wouldn’t be happening now.

She told how instead she is planning to go home to Australia at the end of the year.

Dianne continued: ‘There is a little road ahead for my dad but I believe 100% he is going to be fine and we are all going to get through it together.’

She then asked fans to give her dad ‘a little thought or prayer’, which she would ‘greatly appreciate’.

The emotional star went on: ‘My dad is the sweetest, kindest man you will ever meet and the one thing he really wants is for me to keep going and to keep dancing my little heart out and doing what I love because that makes him the absolute proudest.

‘Regardless if I go home with a glitterball or not I will still go home and have a hot Christmas.’

Oh dear: And after a week of speculation she has now finally addressed the moment, sadly revealing that her father Mark – who lives in Bunbury, Australia – is unwell

Bobby also appeared a little upset after the performance last Saturday despite scoring a decent 30 out of 40 for the dance to Fashion by David Bowie.

He said in the feedback chat with Claudia when asked how he felt: ‘Just emotional. It’s been so so emotional all week.’

After the emotional appearance some took to social media to express concerns.

One said: ‘I hope Bobby is okay. He just seemed very upset tonight. Not sure what they are eluding to when they said it’s been a hard week but I hope everything is okay. Xxx.’

Another said: ‘Bobby seemed upset tonight, especially when the judges were talking to him after the dance and going up the stairs, and when he was talking to Claudia he looked like he was gonna cry, I really hope he’s okay.’

A third penned: ‘They both looked really sad tonight and neither have posted training footage on IG this week. I hope they’re both ok.’

Another said: ‘I hope Dianne is okay ❤️ Dianne we love you.’

It came after Bobby admitted he is ‘falling in love’ with his partner Dianne, after branding the pro ‘a sister’ to him.

Worry: After the emotional appearance some took to social media to some express concerns that they looked unhappy 

The duo have forged a firm friendship since hitting the dance floor last month and at Sunday night’s Pride Of Britain Awards, Bobby admitted he is ‘very lucky’ to have the Australian beauty as his trainer on the show. 

Speaking to Mirror, he said: ‘I could speak about Dianne all day. She’s just a diamond – you know what, I’m falling in love with her. She’s just great. I feel very lucky.’

As well as speaking about her expertise as a trainer, Bobby divulged a cheeky secret about their training – admitting he is known to sleep on the job. 

When asked if he is a ‘perfectionist’ during their ‘gruelling’ training sessions, he said: ‘Dianne would say no because I’ve been taking as many breaks as possible, I’ve been napping as much as possible. Necessary digestive periods, I call it.’
