Dianne Buswell says she was worried she could be dropped from BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing while she was pregnant. She discusses how the show’s production decisions and the timing of adding new talent led to concerns during that period.
Buswell, who is returning for her first Strictly series since becoming a mum, frames the “axe” talk as speculation connected to changes to the cast. Reports note that the show moves to refresh its line-up by bringing in new performers, which can fuel public speculation about existing competitors. Both outlets highlight her response to those claims and her return to the programme.
While the sources focus on her comments about potential dismissal, they do not present conflicting details about what she says or when she returns. Instead, they share a common emphasis: Buswell addresses pregnancy-related fears of being removed from Strictly as she prepares for the new series.
