On Tuesday (November 7) the pair appeared on Good Morning Britain together where they discussed the tantalising moment. At the end of the show, the Aussie beauty joined Susanna Reid and Ed Balls on the show while her co-star joined them via a video link after he got stuck in traffic.
Leaving Dianne in the studio alone, the ITV hosts were quick to poke fun at the actor for his tardiness. He apologised, saying: “I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry guys, forgive me.”
The model went on to blame Dianne for his absence, adding: “You didn’t call me this morning, usually she calls me!” The fiery beauty was quick to defend herself, insisting: “I do, but this morning I was too busy getting myself ready.”
The pair then discussed the public reaction to their steamy routine at the weekend. Dianne explained: “The thing I love so much about dancing is being able to tell a story. It’s like acting, isn’t it?
“We obviously did the dance the correct way if people are saying that [romance rumours] then we did a good job with it.”
Bobby confessed that the Tango had been his favourite dance routine on the show to date. He confessed: “The story and the intensity and the emotion of it, I loved. Listen, I am ready to turn it all the way up! I enjoy it.”
It comes after the soap star hit back at a fan who complained about feeling “uncomfortable” watching their routine. Taking to Instagram, the viewer fumed that their performance overstepped the line.
They wrote: “Love Dianne she’s an amazing dancer and teacher and like Bobby but it felt uncomfortable to watch for me and the end kiss was far too intense. The dance was impeccable just don’t like how intimate it looked.”
Bobby was quick to respond to their criticism by simply adding: “Job done.” It is understood that ever since the pair were partnered up together, the Aussie beauty has been “hit hard” over the scrutiny of her five-year relationship with Joe Sugg due to her close bond with Bobby.
The professional dancer is said to be upset over “cruel remarks” after Bobby declared his love for her. Sources close to Dianne say she is “very much still together” with the 32-year-old YouTuber but is feeling down after being bombarded with taunts from fans online.
