Strictly star Dianne Buswell reveals her dad is back in hospital
Taking to Instagram over the weekend (Sunday, March 16), Dianne, 35, revealed that her dad is back in hospital.
The Australian dancer, who won Strictly last year with Chris McCausland, shared a snap of herself and Mark from his hospital bed.
In the picture, Dianne can be seen smiling as she leans down to pose alongside her dad. Mark can be seen smiling up at the camera, whilst wearing a hospital gown. She doesn’t say why he’s in hospital.
“My dad my superhero,” Dianne captioned the heartwarming post.
Fans and friends show their support
Plenty of Dianne’s 1.1 million followers took to the comment section to show the star their support.
Amy Dowden posted a love heart emoji. Dianne’s boyfriend, Joe Sugg, posted a string of love heart emojis too.
“MAAAAAAARK! You are [strong arm emoji] We are all with you,” Vito Coppola commented.
“Loads of love to Mark xxx,” Nikita Kuzmin said.
Sending so much love and support keep strong.
“Love Dad [heart emojis] love you be strong,” Shirley Ballas added.
“Sending so much love and support keep strong,” Joe Sugg’s mum, Tracey, also wrote.
Dianne returned to the post sometime later to thank fans and followers for the support.
“Thank you all so much for the love and wishes,” she wrote.
Dianne’s family loss
The update about her dad comes just days after Dianne sadly lost her grandmother.
She announced the sad news during her podcast with Chris McCausland, Winning Isn’t Everything.
“I won’t lie, I’ve had better weeks in my life,” she said.
“I had my gorgeous, beautiful nan, she sadly passed away this week, which is very, very sad,” she then continued. “However, I have been looking at in a different way. I’m looking at it as, you know, I could have been in the UK, I could not have said goodbye to her, I could maybe not have been able to see her before she passed, so I’m seeing it in a very positive way. And I was able to be here for my family, which has been really lovely.”
She then added that though it’s been sad, sharing stories about her nan has made it an “uplifting” and “almost joyous” time too.
