The latest series of Strictly Come Dancing is in full swing with sequin-clad celebrities taking to the dance floor with their professional partners and high hopes of impressing the judges.
Each week the couples perform a routine in a bid to generate votes from viewers at home which will help them avoid being in the bottom two.
Among the professional dancers doing a turn this year is flaming red-head Dianne Buswell, who first joined the BBC dancing show back in 2017.
The 34-year-old is well known for her vibrant hair and infectious smile and she's been partnered up with various different celebrities over the years.
Dianne has danced with with Revered Richard Coles, The Wanted singer Max George, radio presenter Dev Griffin, TV personality Tyler West, comedian Robert Webb and YouTube star Joe Sugg.
We take a look at her life before Strictly and how the show really did change her life.
Dianne is well and truly an honorary Brit these days and lives in a swanky pad near Brighton but she's an Aussie girl at heart and was born in Banbury, Australia. She was aged just four when she began ballroom dancing and then turned her passion into a career.
The 34-year-old lived in Oz until 2017 when she had the opportunity to move to the UK to take part in the BBC show.
She previously told the Express that she loves living in the UK. She said: "One weird thing, I suppose, is that I just go, ‘Wow, I'm actually so far away from where I was born’.
“Then I think, ‘Oh my god, like, of all the places I now am living!’
“The UK is a full 24 hour plane ride away from my hometown and obviously my family are all so far away from me.
“But I must say, I do love the UK and I do love all the people here and I love my job here so, yeah, I really enjoy the UK.”
