More info Strictly Come Dancing fans revealed they couldn’t help but get emotional during tonight’s results show when Claudia Winkleman revealed Dianne Buswell’s parents would be flying over from Australia.
During the show on Sunday 17 November, Claudia said Dianne’s parents’ “bags were packed” and they will be watching her dance live next week. The plan was for Dianne and Chris McCausland to perform for her parents if they made it to week 10, which they have! Fans took to Twitter getting emotional, one wrote: “I am sobbing that Diane’s parents are coming from Australia”. Another fan added: “Delighted for Chris & Dianne to be going through.
Richly deserved.” Another wrote: “i am actually sobbing at claudia saying about diannes mam and dads bags being packed. amazing, she’s waited for this for so long”.
A fourth added: “So pleased for Chris and Diane are through and her parents get to see them in person next week #Strictly ”. During the chat with Claudia, Chris and Dianne spoke about their Blackpool week nine dance which got them two 10s. Dianne said: “I was just so pleased for you, Chris, to get a 10 in Blackpool.
” To which Chris corrected her with “two 10s”. Dianne continued: “Sorry, two 10s, because you honestly do deserve it.” Claudia then announced that “Mr and Mrs Buswell are coming to see their baby girl” which was met with cheers by the Strictly cast.
“I know it means so much, they love you and Chris, this what you wanted, you wanted to dance in front of your mum and dad. And Chris, you want this amazing woman to feel proud, out there in front of her family.” Chris responded with the fact that they’d set themselves this ‘goal’ from the beginning and couldn’t believe that they’d managed to ‘get here’.
The pair ended the segment with a very emotional hug. On Saturday night (16 November), Chris and Dianne danced an American Smooth and were awarded 37 out of 40, including 10s from Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke . Post-performance, an emotional Dianne received comfort from Chris in a heartfelt hug, showing his support for his partner.
This touching moment followed Dianne's recent health update. Known for keeping fans updated through their weekly vlogs, Dianne revealed in the latest CHRIS's DIAnneRIES that she had been feeling under the weather. In a shared video, when Chris queried about the absence of their usual Monday post, Dianne confessed, "I wasn't very well," leading Chris to joke about their hard work.
