Dianne Buswell has said she is "gutted" her and Bobby Brazier's lift in the BBC Strictly Come Dancing Musicals Week didn't go to plan. The BBC pro dancer spoke out on Instagram in the wake of them sailing through to the semi-finals this coming Saturday night on the BBC.

Dianne said: "gutted the LIFT didn’t go to plan like it had in most rehearsals But i do have to say we took a risk and didn’t play it safe that dance was hard and so iconic that of course there was pressure to do it justice . and the feeling of just not quite getting it was a bit low for us.

"HOWEVER bobby wanted to challenge himself and so did i and that is success and growth in its self .. let’s focus on the amazing parts of the dance the fact bobby was leading me around the floor his hips foot work expression and just overall improvement for a guy who started dancing only 11 weeks ago is incredible ! your strength your movement has improved so so much and i’m sure so many people agree.

Mandy replied on Instagram: "Lovely words ....it's was amazing ... Bobby has done amazingly for non dancer ....plus That's along way up there with Bobby's height"

James Jordan, a former show pro, told Dianne: "It’s such a difficult lift especially with the added pressure - such a shame but it was a fantastic job of probably the most famous dance in history - gave me goosebumps from the nostalgia" Freeman said: "There is more bravery in trying than succeeding. Captured the absolute essence of the musical. Keep dancing."

"Such a charismatic dance throughout, so much more to it than the lift. I really enjoyed the whole thing. Much better than when it’s just about one moment!," Sylvia said. Tia said: "the fact you trust bobby more than any of the pros really shows the beautiful friendship you have created"
