After weeks of rumours, Joe Sugg and his Strictly Come Dancing partner Dianne Buswell have been pictured holding hands as they left the Strictly Come Dancing after party.

The two have been subject to intense scrutiny over claims they have been dating during their time on the BBC dancing show and on Saturday night they were snapped holding hands as they left the party following the final which saw Stacey Dooley crowned the Glitterball champion.

Joe and Dianne have been faced with awkward questioning over romance rumours during several TV appearance, with Zoe Ball on It Takes Two and ITV show This Morning all delivering the quizzical blows.

They have always refused to deny they were dating despite reports that they had been spending the nights together at Joes London flat.

An insider told The Mirror: Joe and Dianne insist theyre just friends but no one would be surprised if they came out as a couple once the show ends.

During several of their dances the pair have come close to kissing and on It Takes Two host Zoe asked the question we all wanted to ask when she said: You teased us twice on Saturday and it didnt go unnoticed. See exhibit A and exhibit B.

Will the showdance end in a kiss? Sorry, were such children.
