Dianne Buswell debuts extreme hair transformation following Strictly boot
The dancer has gone for a big change
Last updated 22nd Oct 2019
Dianne Buswell has decided to changed up her look since being booted out of Strictly Come Dancing. Famous for her long, bright red hair, the Strictly star shared a picture of her new mane on Instagram.
She chose to keep her statement red hair but decided to have a chop by cutting her flowing hair to a shoulder-length bob. Dianne asked her 819k followers, 'What do we think to the short hair?'
One fan commented, 'I actually love it. How do you suit every hair style!!' Another said, 'WHAT ON EARTH THIS IS AMAZING.'
However, there are a few followers who weren’t convinced by the chop, with one fan commenting, 'I love it but I kinda prefer it longer.'
She has had long red hair since she started as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017.
Dianne Buswell and her celebrity partner DJ Dev Griffin were voted off by Strictly judges after dancing the cha cha cha to Sam Smith's 'Dancing with a Stranger'. The pair were unable to contain their disappointment as they embraced at the end of the show and Dianne broke down in tears.
Dianne made it to the finals of Strictly last year with her now-boyfriend Joe Sugg, and so her departure came as a shock to viewers. She was so upset by the decision that she pulled out of taking part in the Strictly podcast after filming wrapped.
In an appearance on BBC2’s It Takes Two, Dianne said, "Dev has been such a gentleman. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner and he worked so, so hard. I’m just really, really sad that it’s come to an end."
She also said that if Dev ever wants to take up dancing again, she would be happy to be his teacher.
