Dianne Buswell hits back at trolls with a confident TikTok

The 36-year-old professional dancer responded directly to a taunting comment — "But why do you always have your belly out?" — by posting a new short video that deliberately put the complaint front and centre. In the clip she danced with her bump visible and used the track That's the Way (I Like It) by KC and the Sunshine Band, pairing the footage with the caption: "Because that's the way I like it!"

How she has documented the pregnancy and the wardrobe choices

dianne buswell has been sharing a series of funny and relatable pregnancy clips and has frequently chosen crop tops, rolled-up T-shirts and sports bras so her growing baby bump is on full display. The posts have become a running diary of the pregnancy and a clear stylistic choice in the way she presents herself online.

Fan reaction and the online debate

The TikTok clip prompted an outpouring of support from followers, who pushed back against critics and celebrated her openness. Supporters voiced a range of reactions, including that women should not be made to hide, that pregnant bellies should be celebrated and not shamed, and that it would be unlikely critics would raise the same question if she were not pregnant. Other responses praised her confidence: messages called her bump "gorgeous, " encouraged her to "ignore the haters, " and said growing a new human is something to be proud of and show off. Several fans shared personal experiences, noting that during pregnancy the only way they could be comfortable was with the bump exposed and that letting the bump out felt liberating.

Pregnancy timeline and preparations as due date approaches

The couple announced their pregnancy in September 2025 and confirmed the baby is a boy in a reveal set to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer, " saying they "cannot wait to meet" their little boy. Updates through the pregnancy indicate the pair expect the birth in late February to early–mid March 2026, though an exact due date has not been publicly shared. Dianne marked her last day of work on a recent Wednesday as she counted down the days until the impending due date and has described herself as "thriving" while in the nesting phase, sharing footage of looking for projects around the house with a "Mama" mug in hand and noting they are "almost ready" to meet their son.

Joe Sugg's background and the couple's story

Her partner, 34-year-old Joe Sugg, is a TV and online personality from Wiltshire who grew up in the village of Lacock. He attended Corsham School from 2003 to 2010 and went on to an apprenticeship as a roof thatcher. The pair met on a televised dance competition in 2018 and have been a couple for seven years. They shared their pregnancy news with followers last September and have been preparing for parenthood while balancing professional commitments, including filming a new television show titled Raiders of the Lost Crafts.

Baby name decision and what they have revealed

The couple have said they have already decided what to call their future son. Joe has explained they will not be sharing the name yet and offered limited clues: he does not see the name widely used, some people have it as a surname, it can be shortened, and it is "quite a unique name but not unique as in…" — his explanation ended without a full clarification in the public update.

What to watch for next

Expect more social media updates from dianne buswell and Joe Sugg as the birth approaches, including further glimpses of preparations at home and any final work-related goodbyes. Public reaction to the bump posts has opened a broader conversation about pregnancy, modesty and personal choice that looks set to continue while the couple finalise plans ahead of their baby boy's arrival.
