Dianne Buswell has been forced to make a Strictly Come Dancing confession after he instruction to Stefan Dennis during their latest performance was ‘exposed’.
The professional dancer and Neighbours legend are among the couples competing in the BBC One dance contest this year, with their partnership being revealed during the 2025 series launch show last month.
The pair have since gone on to deliver two performance on the show so far, the first being a Foxtrot to the Neighbours Theme by Barry Crocker, which was described as a “brilliant effort” by the judges.
However, Stefan admitted to being ‘stumped’ by his latest routine, which took place during the second live show of the series on Satureday night (October 4) as the judges noted was littered with mistakes.
The actor, famed for playing Paul Robinson in Neighbours, and fellow Aussie Dianne, who is pregnant with her first child, performed and 80s-themed cha cha to Give It Up by KC And The Sunshine Band, scoring 17 out of a possible 40.
Kicking off the feedback, Motsi Mabuse said, “You have a brilliant partnership, and you have a brilliant energy. You guys are like sunshine when you pair up together.
“I am gonna have to address the elephant in the room. There were lots of tiny, tiny mistakes everywhere. Let’s try next time to rehearse and stick to the routine. We have to get one performance without those tiny, tiny creepers in there, and you guys are brilliant together.”

But head judge Shirley Ballas didn’t seem to think the mistakes were down to lack of practice. She said that the duo “started well” but then “nerves” got the better of Stefan.
She said: “Sometimes that happens to the best of anybody. They get nervous, then they start making mistakes. Brush it aside. You move on.”
Stefan did own up very quickly to the mistakes in his routine and before receiving their scores, Claudia Winkleman pointed out, “And he [Stefan] has been getting frustrated with himself.”
Now, Dianne has revealed that she was almost responsible for one of the mistakes in the routine. It was caught on a secret microphone that captures the dancers conversations from the dance floor before the Strictly team cut them all together to make a must-watch social media reel.
In the latest, Dianne was heard shouting out to Stefan during a jaw-dropping floor part of their routine. But the reigning Strictly champ confessed what she said was wrong.
In the comments section of the Instagram post, Dianne wrote: “Not the pro saying left leg and then going oh no I meant right [crying laughing emojis].” She then replied to herself and added: “That pro I speak about is me btw [crying laughing emoji].”
Dianne also shared the post to her Instagram Story, to which she told her followers: “I scream ‘left leg’ by accident. I totally meant right. Lucky my partner didn’t listen to me [crying laughing emoji].”
