Strictly's Vito makes cringe-worthy slip while congratulating pregnant Dianne Buswell

YouTuber Joe Suggand Strictly professional dancer Dianne Buswell took to Instagram on Sunday evening to announce that they were expecting a baby, with many fans rushing to congratulate the happy couple, including Vito Coppalo, who made a very awkward blunder.

Fellow professional dancer Vito couldn’t contain his excitement after hearing the wonderful news, as he shared: “THIS IS BELLISSIMOOOOO. The First Strictly Baby [baby emoji]. Cannot wait to meet him and I promise to be the best crazy Italian uncle. Congratulation guuuuuuuys I am so so soooo happy for you.”

While he had good intentions, Vito got his facts wrong, as Joe and Dianne will not be the first strictly couple to have a baby.

In fact, many other couples from the show have also welcomed little bundles of joy, including Stacey Dooley, who welcomed a child with her dance partner Kevin Clifton.

Stacey and Kevin appeared on the show the same year as Joe and Dianne and beat them to the glitterball trophy. Stacey went on to give birth to their first daughter in 2023.

Janette Manrara and Aljaz Škorjanec also welcomed their daughter, Lyra, together, as well as Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez.

Another couple who’s time on the show turned into a loving relationship and growing family was Countdown presenter Rachel Riley, who started to date Pasha Kovalev. Six years later they said ‘I do’ in Las Vegas and have gone on to welcome their daughters, Maven and Noa.

James and Ola Jordan also welcomed a daughter Ella in 2020 through IVF, and Ben Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff also welcomed a daughter. It appears Vito was well off the marking thinking this was the first baby to come out of the show.

As well as revealing the huge news, Joe and Dianne also shared the gender of the baby as Joe said: "Our little baby boy, we cannot wait to meet you".

The couple shared the sweet announcement with a funny video of them painting a picture in their house. The camera shows them pulling faces as they concentrate on the task at hand before they reveal their joint artwork.

They then showed the image to the camera, which revealed Joe and Dianne as stick people with a stick baby in the middle.

Fans and friend's couldn't contain their excitement for the announcement as Joe's brother in law Alfie Deyes wrote: "Sooo excited for you both! The family is growinggg", while Stacey Dooley penned: "YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES".

One fan of the couple wrote: "Omggggggg I’m so happy for you both that I’m commenting like I know you, but it really is that exciting. Huge congratulations", while another said: "Omg!!!!!!!!!! Congratulation! Baby buzz and sugg is coming!".

The Strictly Come Dancing official Instagram page wrote: "So happy for you both! Huge congratulations from the whole Strictly family". Kevin Clifton also shared: "Omg guys!!!! Congratulations.!!! Im so happy for u".
