While most of us have spent the last few days (or, let's be honest, weeks) speculating about the relationship between Strictly Come Dancing pair Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell, fellow contestant Dr Ranj Singh has shared that he may have spotted something was up ages ago.

Speaking on The Telegraph's Talking Strictly podcast, This Morning presenter Dr Ranj spoke about the couple, and revealed that the pair have been enjoying secret dates at Joe's flat.

"Joe and I live in the same building – he's my neighbour," he began, and when it was pointed out that he may be seeing a lot of "coming and going" to the flat in the future, he added: "I may already have noticed some things before it was official."

"They did rehearse a lot together..." he said. "She is lovely, she's so much fun."

Dr Ranj also added that they could tell when Joe and Dianne had been rehearsing before them, but for an altogether different reason.

"Joe and Dianne and Janette and I used the same studio to train in. We'd turn up and there'd be red hair extensions left on the floor," he added. "We were like: we know who's been here."

A few weeks ago Joe and Dianne were questioned about their relationship by This Morning's Phillip Schofield but they didn't reveal all that much at the time.

Joe recently referred to the rumours by posting a picture of himself and Dianne on Instagram following the Strictly final. Referring to their loss to Stacey Dooley, who won the 2018 series, Joe captioned the photo: "I may not have won the glitter ball, but I’ve won something a million times more special."

Joe's grandmother Phyllis Sugg has also suggested that her grandson is "head over heels" for Dianne, saying that she could "see that twinkle in his eye".

"He brought Dianne over to meet me too and that’s a sign that there is romance in the air. She seemed like a lovely girl – I think he might be head over heels," she added.
