YouTuber Joe Sugg, 28, and professional dancer Dianne Buswell, 30, have landed in Australia ahead of the festive season.
The couple, who met when they were partnered together on last year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing, have taken a huge step in their relationship by travelling to her hometown to spend Christmas with her family.
The ballroom dancer grew-up in the coastal city of Bunbury in Western Australia, just south of the Capital city Perth.
Dianne shared a picture of the pair on her Instagram account yesterday as they embarked on their long-haul journey to Australia.
She captioned the selfie, which she shared with her 848,000 followers: “Let the adventures begin.”
Several Strictly stars took to the comments section to wish the couple well on their holiday.
Fellow professional dancer Gorka Marquez, 29, who will appear in the Christmas Special with the pair on Christmas Day, wrote alongside the image: “Enjoy Oz!!”
The show’s host Tess Daly, 50, added: “Have the BEST TIME.”
Over on his own account, Joe joked that he had brought the British weather with him when he shared a rainy picture on his Instagram Stories.
He wrote: “When a British boy comes to Aus he brings the rain. You’re welcome Aus.”
However, the couple didn’t have to wait long for the sun to come out.
Joe and Dianne, as well as her brother Andrew and two female pals, made their way to Lancelin, just north of Perth, to enjoy a spot of sandboarding.
Social media star Joe shared serval images from their day trip with his 5.5 million followers.
Alongside the holiday snaps, which showed the pair in denim shorts, T-shirts and trainers, he revealed he was still battling jet-lag.
He wrote: “Beating the jet lag with a bit of sand boarding. MUST STAY AWAAAAKE.“
While Joe and Dianne spend some quality time together in Australia, Strictly fans will see the couple take to the dance floor once again for the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.
Pictures released earlier this week show the duo in matching candy cane suits for the one-off special, which was filmed in an advance.
Diane told her followers they would be performing a fusion of commercial and ballroom for their routine and that she ”loved” dancing with her boyfriend.
She said: “When street commercial meets ballroom !!!!!! I just love dancing with you @joe_sugg make sure you will be watching on Christmas Day! @bbcstrictly.”
Dianne added: “p.s how cool our our candy cane suits.”
