Strictly star Dianne Buswell signs up for Celebrity Masterchef?

A TV insider told The Sun: “Strictly stars always seem to be popular with MasterChef producers, not to mention the viewers at home.

“That is why almost every year they select a famous face from within the show’s ranks of pros. And they always seem to do rather well.”

“Although their dance skills don’t help them much in the kitchen, their natural competitiveness does give them the edge over many of the other celeb cooks,” added the insider.

ED! has contacted reps for Dianne for comment.

Despite her dancing skills, it seems as though Dianne could be a dark horse in the kitchen too.

She recently opened up about her love of food, telling the Independent: “I’ve always been quite a foodie. I have got two older brothers, my dad loves food — we all love food in my family.

“I do really enjoy cooking and I’m always really interested in the Mediterranean diet.”

“My mum is very health-conscious in terms of what products she uses, so I have grown up learning to cook good, hearty meals that are good for you, using natural ingredients,” she added.

Dianne on plans for the future

Meanwhile, Dianne is dating former Strictly star Joe Sugg. They got together shortly after meeting on Strictly in 2018. They made it to the final and finished as runners-up.

Dianne previously spoke about her relationship with Joe and plans to start a family together.

Strictly stars always seem to be popular with MasterChef producers, not to mention the viewers at home.

Speaking to Women’s Health last year, she said: “Joe is the most supportive person… I’d love to have a family one day, and I know Joe would love a family too. That would be our dream one day.”
