Dianne Buswell put her free time to good use on Friday morning by organising an 80s themed dance class for her YouTube subscribers.

Filming from home, Dianne, 30, encouraged somewhat reluctant boyfriend Joe Sugg to participate in the video, put together by the dancer for the benefit of her followers.

To his credit, the 28-year old YouTuber embraced the retro theme by pulling on a pink tie dye T-shirt, matching shorts and his own curly wig before taking part.
‘It’s actually quite difficult,’ admitted Dianne before kicking things off. ‘It’s kind of like a dance routine but its an aerobics dance. It gets your heart rate up and I think it’s quite difficult.’
The pair later posed for a fun Instagram snap, with Joe holding a mock ghetto-blaster while standing alongside his girlfriend, who admitted the class had been a success.

Despite plans still being up in the air, Zoe – who hosts sister show It Takes Two – has insisted producers will do whatever it takes to get the BBC favourite to return to screens in the coming months.

‘Whatever happens with the situation I know that they are going to put that show on somehow. It might not have a studio audience, it might be slightly different.’

Earlier this week, sources claimed Strictly may go ahead this autumn without its usual studio audience cheering on the performers.
Comparing the series to RuPaul’s Drag Race during a virtual production meeting, BBC’s director of content Charlotte Moore said: ‘People think if it is a shiny floor it needs an audience and I don’t think that’s necessarily true.
The Strictly set-up has included a live audience since the show first aired back in 2004, when it was fronted by Tess Daly and Bruce Forsyth, who retired from the show and was replaced by Claudia Winkleman from 2014.
Bosses are reportedly offering doubled fees to celebrities as they continue to assess show contingency plans amid the global crisis.
Sources claimed TV executives are keen for the series ‘to remain the jewel in the BBC’s crown’ and have already put forward contract proposals in a bid to attract a ‘stellar line-up’ for this year’s upcoming series.
Former contestants are believed to have been paid ‘five figures’, with singer Anastacia and JLS star Aston Merrygold thought to be the show’s most expensive signings for their respective stints in 2016 and 2017.

Earlier this month, insiders revealed to MailOnline that due to BBC executives ‘not knowing what world we’ll be in’ when the show hits screens, they are keeping options open.
Despite reports claiming one option was to keep the celebrity and dance professionals in isolation together, sources insisted this was not plausible due to family ties yet a shortened run is one option on the table.
Insiders told us: ‘Bosses are looking at contingency plans but just don’t know where there’ll be at. They don’t know what world we’ll be in.
‘The international versions are running. Germany has no audience and are isolating but not in any kind of Big Brother style. Isolating individually then rehearsing.
‘Strictly are looking at options. At this stage, there’s no chance they could isolate as individuals or couples. That would leave any married or parent dancers not seeing their families for up to three months.
‘At the moment, it’s not being considered. No one knows where we’ll be in the world – if the series is a much shorter run, say. The isolation is not something that’s currently on the table.’
