In the caption, Dianne wrote: “I’m almost in the land of oz!!! What a difference 24 hours of flying makes, then vs now!
“Been practising my Australian accent on the plane! I’m rusty!”
Many began to speculate that the pair had split up, and that’s why he wasn’t tagging along. However, others believed the pair wanted to spend time with their respective families during the Christmas period and so decided to spend it apart.
Fan reactions to Dianne Buswell flying solo
Strictly fans took to the comments of Dianne’s post to wish her safe travels. However, many also questioned why Joe was nowhere to be seen as he had previously spent Christmas with Dianne’s family in Australia.
One fan asked: “Is Jo with you? Have a fabulous time.”
“Happy travelling! Are you on your own?” said another.
“Are you and @joe_sugg still together?”
Yet another commented: “Have Dianne and Joe ended it..? Feel like I don’t see them together anymore.”
Some fans defended the couple and tried to settle the rumours.
One fan said, “Joe’s mum has also been sick, so that might have something to do with it. Also, he has his own family to spend time with.”
Another said: “Couples can have Christmas apart also. People guessing and stirring. Talk about nosy and jealous peeps out there!!”
Thankfully, Strictly Come Dancing‘s Dianne posted a picture of herself and Joe on Facetime last night, quashing any rumours of a split.
Joe can be seen smiling into the camera while Dianne smiles alongside her brother, who is dressed up as Santa.
In a vlog posted to Dianne’s YouTube channel, Joe appeared in an elf costume while the couple opened each other’s presents. They wanted to gift each other their presents before Dianne jetted off to Oz to spend time with her family.
