This year's series of Strictly Come Dancing has been quite the series, with many of the contestants engaging in romances with the professionals

We've had THAT kiss between Seann Walsh and Strictly professional Katya Jones, which ended with Seann being publicly dumped by his now ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.

And the there were the rumours that Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts was getting close to Faye Tozer's professional partner Giovanni Pernice, which have now turned out to be true after they were 'caught snogging' at the wrap party.

Now it looks like YouTube star Joe Sugg has confirmed the reported relationship between himself and dance partner Diane Buswell with his latest Instagram photo of the pair. Joe, who was a runner-up in the weekend's final, captioned his photo, "I may not have won the glitter ball, but I’ve won something a million times more special."

The photo shows the pair looking lovingly into each other's eyes, with their arms around each other.

With nearly 1 million likes in just 15 hours, this post has been hugely popular with fans of the celebrities, with many congratulating the couple. One fan posted, "Omg this is adorable.. love you two ❤️ x", with another saying, "Omg my heart melted when I read the caption😍so happy for you guys 💗xx", and one more saying, "HELL YEAH!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉".

Since the final, Dianne has also posted on Instagram. Sharing a photo from their performance she congratulated Stacey Dooley on winning the show before turning her attentions to partner Joe.

"Now to my @joe_sugg ," she began. "This experience has been by far the coolest most amazing thing that has ever happened in my dance career and that’s all down to my main man joe he has been the dream partner I can’t believe that you started from zero experience and you could not even clap in time to music to being able to produce amazing dances every single week especially your show dance ❤️❤️

"By far my fav dance we have done ! We finished with a bang 😊🙌 you won in my eyes and I’m forever proud ! You believed and achieved 💓💓💜💜💜 go on joe xxx".

The rumours of Joe and Dianne getting close first started back in October, when a source told Express.co.uk that the pair were "100% in a relationship," however, Joe said at the time it was quite the opposite.
