Must read

Strictly stars Dianne Buswell and Michelle Tsiakkas couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces as they attended the National Reality TV Awards at the Porchester Hall in London on Wednesday evening. 

The professional dancers looked in great spirits as they posed with their arms around each other despite the ongoing scandal surrounding the much-loved BBC show.

Dianne, 34, looked stunning as she put on a leggy display in a pastel lilac off the shoulder dress. 

Adorned with lace detailing, she paired the number with some simple pale pink heels and sleeked her signature hair back behind her ears.

And it was a evening of celebrations for Dianne as she picked up the accolade Best Female Personality as she beamed with her award.

Meanwhile Michelle, 28, opted for a elegant pastel yellow midi dress which she paired with a shiny gold handbag with a chain strap. 

She completed the backless number with some strappy white heels and wore her dark brunette locks styled straight. 

The duo have been working hard in rehearsals ahead of the 20th anniversary series which is due to start in the upcoming autumn. 

The BBC show has been engulfed by drama since Giovanni Pernice was suspended after his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington accused him of abusive behaviour, saying he was ‘cruel and mean.’ He denies the claims.

It was followed by Graziano Di Prima’s sacking last month over reports he verbally and physically abused Zara McDermott during rehearsals. Graziano has apologised for kicking his former partner and added other allegations do not align with ‘how he remembers it.’

It was also reported that production workers at the hit dance series have alleged they were grilled on their ‘sex lives’ and branding their workplace ‘toxic’. 

Elsewhere at the award’s evening, Dianne and Michelle were joined by TV personality Demi Sims and TOWIE stars Uunaid Ahmed and Made In Chelsea star Ruby Adler. 

Demi, 27, showed off her toned abs as she opted for a snake print cut out mesh dress as she flashed plenty of skin.
