Dianne Buswell has revealed that meeting her Strictly Come Dancing partner Will Best’s newborn son has made her want another baby with boyfriend Joe Sugg.
The professional dancer shared the sweet admission just hours before Saturday night’s live show, where she and Will were due to perform a Cha Cha to Della Reese’s Daddy.
Will and his fiancée Tobi Rose welcomed their son Sonny earlier this month, with the presenter announcing the arrival on Instagram.
“Welcome to the world Sonny Best, you little smasher,” he wrote.
He also praised Tobi, calling her “a miracle” as the couple adjusted to life as tired new parents.
After spending time with baby Sonny, Dianne admitted she had an immediate reaction.
“He’s so gorgeous,” she said in a TikTok filmed alongside Will.
“As soon as I saw him, I went home and said to Joe, I want another one.”
Dianne says meeting Sonny changed her mind instantly
Dianne welcomed her own son, Bowie, with YouTuber Joe Sugg earlier this year.
But seeing Will’s newborn appears to have reignited her enthusiasm for expanding their family.
Her comment quickly delighted followers.
One fan joked that they felt the same way whenever they met a baby, while another simply wrote: “Love, love, love.”
Others focused on Dianne and Will’s growing friendship during the competition, with one describing them as the “best couple on Strictly”.
Despite the headline describing Dianne’s comments as a “baby bombshell”, she did not announce a pregnancy.
Her update was simply an affectionate admission that meeting Sonny had made her tell Joe she would like another child.
Motherhood has already shaped Dianne’s Strictly journey
Dianne’s latest comments come after a major year personally and professionally.
She appeared in the 2025 series of Strictly while pregnant, partnered with Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis.
Their run ended early when Stefan suffered an injury that forced the pair to withdraw from the competition.
Dianne later welcomed Bowie in February.
Since becoming a mother, she has spoken openly about parts of the experience, including the physical difficulty she faced after giving birth.
Appearing on the Oxydise podcast, Dianne recalled becoming overwhelmed when she tried to sit up.
“I just burst into tears,” she said.
“The pain of having to sit up and trying to manoeuvre myself out of bed was just unbearable.”
Her latest comments about wanting another baby therefore come after a demanding first experience of childbirth rather than an idealised version of early motherhood.
Baby theme follows Will into the ballroom
Will’s new arrival has also become part of his Strictly story.
His son was born on October 11, in the middle of the current series, leaving the presenter balancing rehearsals with the first days of fatherhood.
That personal milestone fed naturally into Saturday’s Cha Cha theme, with Will and Dianne dancing to Daddy.
The pair have become increasingly close during rehearsals, and Dianne’s meeting with Sonny offered viewers another glimpse of the friendship developing away from the ballroom.
For Dianne, however, the encounter clearly had consequences beyond this week’s choreography.
She went home after meeting Sonny and immediately told Joe she wanted another child.
There is no pregnancy announcement and no indication that the couple have confirmed plans for when that might happen.
But Dianne could hardly have made her feelings clearer.
One cuddle with Will’s newborn, and baby number two was suddenly very much on her mind.
