Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has revealed she was left feeling "disappointed" over early her exit from the show, as she opened up how she deals with negativity and anxiety.

Dianne also heaped praise on her partner vlogger Joe Sugg, who found emigrating from Australia "tough," adding his family and Strictly have been a support network for her.

In December 2018 Joe confirmed his romance with Dianne the day after the Strictly final.
Freeze The Fear With Wim Hof continues tomorrow at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
