Professional dancer Dianne Buswell recently responded to online critics who expressed discomfort watching a pregnant woman dance. Buswell defiantly showcased her dancing skills, including a cartwheel, in a video posted on her Instagram account.

In the video, the expectant mother addressed the critics by stating, “For all those people saying they can’t watch a pregnant girl dance! I just can’t help it when I hear the beat.” She reiterated this sentiment in the caption, accompanied by emojis of a pregnant woman, garnering supportive messages from friends and fans.

Fellow Strictly star Kai Widdrington and It Takes Two host Fleur East showed their support with encouraging comments. Fans also praised Buswell for continuing to dance during her pregnancy, emphasizing the inclusivity of dance.

Amidst the positive responses, Buswell faced backlash regarding partner Stefan Dennis’ early exit from a dance program. Despite Dennis revealing a calf muscle injury as the reason for his departure, some critics alleged a planned exit due to Buswell’s pregnancy.

Expecting her first child with former Strictly contestant Joe Sugg, whom she met on the show, Buswell shared a viewer’s perspective on her Instagram Stories. The viewer speculated that the planned exit was to prioritize the safety of Buswell and her baby.

In response to the ongoing rumors, Buswell firmly stated her desire to continue dancing and emphasized respect for Dennis, who was disappointed about not being able to dance. She denied any allegations of a deliberate exit strategy, expressing her eagerness to keep dancing.
