Dianne Buswell plays her pregnancy for laughs while complaining that it 'feels like it's lasting forever' in lighthearted social media post

Dianne Buswell has played her pregnancy for laughs in a new social media post. 

The Strictly Come Dancing professional, currently expecting her first child with her partner Joe Sugg, shows off her growing baby bump in a lighthearted video, shared with followers on Monday. 

Using an age accelerating filter, Dianne, 36, joked: 'When you feel like your pregnancy is lasting forever.'

The Australian dancer added: I’m just kidding I can wait ! But the last trimester deffo hits differently.'

Dianne went makeup free as she posed in a white tank and matching trunks, before using the filter to age her features and turn her trademark red hair grey.  

Her fellow Strictly Come Dancing stars were left in stitches in the comment section, with the likes of Strictly pal Amy Dowden commenting with a slew of laughing emojis.

Earlier last week, Dianne hinted that the birth of her baby son is imminent in a sweet update. 

She created a video montage of hers and her partner Joe Sugg's items and then added miniature versions. 

Dianne said 'now we wait' after showing she was ready for the birth with tiny clothes, shoes and even a Strictly-themed onesie ready for the baby. 

She captioned the Instagram post: 'When 2 will soon become 3 the last one!'

The couple announced they were expecting their first child back in September and have been keeping fans up to date ever since. 

Last week, Dianne showcased her blossoming baby bump in new snaps shared by her boyfriend Joe. 

The Strictly star looked incredible as she slipped into a black bathing suit during a trip to the beach during her and Joe's recent Christmas trip to her native Australia.

The dancer posed for a playful snap with YouTuber Joe as they both lifted their shirts to show their bellies while going for an evening stroll.

Another photo saw the couple, who met when they were partnered on Strictly in 2018, sharing a kiss. 

Joe also shared a photo of Dianne on a shopping trip as she cradled her bump while dressed in a green sleeveless dress. 

He captioned the post: 'Back in the UK fighting off the jet lag and looking back on some highlights of the trip down under...'   

Dianne was the first professional in the show's history to compete while pregnant, before her partner Stefan Dennis, was forced to pull out due to injury. 

Joe and Dianne struck up a romance when they were paired together during the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018. 

At the end of last month, Dianne furiously hit back at claims that her partner Stefan's early exit from the show was 'planned' in order to accommodate her pregnancy. 

She wrote: 'Just to clarify as I have had lots of people msg me thinking this is a cover up for me being not able to dance!? 

'Firstly we wouldn't lie especially about somebody being sick! And secondly I am fine, yes I am pregnant but I'm also very capable and feeling really good!' 

She also explained that their are protocols in place regarding the professionals sickness as she added: 'Thirdly there are things in place if any pro were to get sick or injured.'

This has been seen in previous year's on the show, for example last year Lauren Oakley filled in for Amy Dowden with JB Gill after Amy had to withdraw from the competition due to injury.
