STRICTLY Come Dancing fans are convinced a Strictly pro will quit the show before the next series and go out on a high.
Last week viewers watched in awe as Chris McCausland, 47, and Dianne Buswell, 35, waltzed to victory and made show history.
Blind comedian Chris won the nation’s hearts and he was supported every step of the way by Aussie dancer Dianne.
Not only has Dianne found lasting love on the show with YouTube star Joe Sugg, but she’s now landed the coveted Glitterball trophy.
Fans now wouldn’t be surprised if she walks away having achieved the dominant victory.
One wrote on a fan forum: “I can see Dianne leaving, I don't think she'll be able to top this partnership and this series and plus she's wanted to branch out into tv as well.”
Another agreed, adding: “Could easily host a tv show of some description.”
A third said: “I wouldn't be surprised if Dianne left to focus either on other career developments or family.”
A fourth wrote: “I can see Dianne is pulling the classic Camilla/Flavia/Aliona/Joanne/Oti of leaving right after winning.”
Others feel Gorka Marquez and Nadiya Bychkova could depart, with the latter missing out on a celebrity partner this year as well as going through a bitter romantic split from fellow pro Kai Widdrington.
Dianne celebrated her first Glitterball win inside the £3.5m Brighton mansion she shares with Joe Sugg.
Joe and Dianne hit it off after being paired together in the 2018 series of the show in which they made the final.
With her hectic Strictly regime now over for the year, Dianne has is hunkering down in the Sussex countryside for Christmas.
The home was decorated with gold balloons, glitterballs and a 2024 winner banner when she triumphed.
Fairy lights were attached to the modern glass-panelled staircase, while a huge Christmas tree was at the rear of the open plan living space.
Dianne stood on a rug at the centre of the home and raised the Glitterball for a celebratory photo.
Joe and Dianne’s mansion was previously owned by Brighton and Hove Albion footballer Lewis Dunk, 31.
The defender bought the sprawling West Sussex property for £787,500 in 2016, and listed it last year for £3.5 million, according to the MailOnline.
