Strictly star Bobby Braiser has admitted he is “falling in love” with his partner Diane Buswell, after referring to the professional nurse as his “sister”.
The pair have struck up a firm friendship since taking to the podium last month and at the Pride of Britain Awards, Bobby, 20, admitted he was “very happy” to have the Australian beauty, 34, as his coach on the show.
Speaking to the Mirror, he said: “I could talk about Diane all day. She’s just a diamond – you know what, I’m falling for her. She’s just awesome. I feel very lucky.’
As well as talking about his expertise as a trainer, Bobby spilled a cheeky secret about their training – admitting he’s been known to sleep on the job.
When asked if he was a ‘perfectionist’ during their ‘painstaking’ training sessions, he said: ‘Dianne would say no because I took as many breaks as possible, napped as much as possible. Necessary digestive periods, I call it.’
