Yahoo News Strictly's Dianne Buswell shares health update after suffering illness
Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer Dianne Buswell has opened up on dealing with a nasty stomach bug ahead of her latest dance with Chris McCausland.
Today (November 13), Dianne and Chris took to Instagram to share an update on her illness after she admittedly had a few rough days.
Talking about her inconvenient ordeal, Dianne revealed she wasn't "very well" last Friday and Saturday. Ever the professional, the dancer went all in on Couple's Choice with Chris to John Lennon's 'Instant Karma!', with the duo earning a score of 33.

"Sunday was a write off and Monday I still wasn't very well," she said in the video, with Chris revealing a funny side to the story.
During training for Couple's Choice, Chris was slightly worried about performing a series of lifts with Dianne and joked it'd have been really handy if she had relieved herself.
"It'd be really handy if you went to the toilet and you did a massive poo, right? Just to make yourself lighter for me," he recalled telling her before the weekend.
"You're such a genuine soul. Such a lovely person," he added, to which Dianne promptly replied: "I'm so thoughtful."

The dancer said she spent all Friday night "just loosening [her] bowels," with the comedian not sparing any details when adding: "Both ends."
"But we had a good night on Saturday night," Dianne said, while Chris praised her for "getting through it".
"Full marks for you for helping me through it. You did carry me through that," she added.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
