Writing on social media, one fan said: “I would say Dianne might leave this year, especially if she wins.”
Someone else replied: “Now that you’ve said it, it does seem likely that this could be Dianne’s last hurrah.
“Not only because of her massively popular partnership with Chris but also because she’s been getting a lot of prominent roles in the pro numbers.”
Another reason fans think Dianne is set to bow out is her 2025 tour with fellow professional Vito Coppola.
Announcing her new adventure outside of Strictly with her co-star earlier this year, Dianne wrote on Instagram: “We are so, so excited to finally introduce you all to our brand new show DIANNE & VITO ‘Red Hot and Ready’ presented by Burn the Floor.
“We’ve been working on this project for such a long time and we cannot wait to share this special show with the whole of the UK in 2025!”
