Blackpool week on Strictly had always been known for its crazy after party,many secrets getting unravelled and romances forming. Dianne and Joe had just finished the show as they both headed to Diannes dressing room for the evening,hand in hand.

"Di,white shirt or black?"

"Joe,black dress or pink?"

The pair burst into fits of giggles as they asked eachother about fashion advice,there array of clothing thrown all over the floor of Diannes dressing room.

"Black for us both?" Joe asked,looking up at her as she threw more thigh high boots out of her suitcase. He shook his head in awe of how many clothes and shoes one woman could have,the same amount what had somehow made its way all throughout Joes apartment in the past few weeks.

"But then there's the red dress and the blue top and black jeans and the nice-"

"Di,before you get all Miss. Indecisive on me choose the black dress now"

"I was hoping i'd be Mrs. Sugg but Miss. Indecisive will do for now"

The pair burst out in fits of laughter again. Joe shaking his head at Dianne as she flicked through the range of dresses hanging on the makeshift rack.

The pair had arrived at the after party and Dianne could tell Joe was nervous, him and alcohol didn't mix well and some of Diannes 'Acquaintances' didn't know about them yet. If Joe was dancing sexually with Dianne when they'd only first met,what would happen today when they were in a secret relationship.

The party was alive with energy when the pair walked in,some of the pros busting there best moves on the dance floor whilst some hung near the bar. The celebrities mingled between the pros and themselves,awkwardly dancing to the music which rang throughout the club.

"Di?"

"Yeah?"

"Take my hand"

"What?"

"Hold my hand"

Dianne listened to what Joe had told her,tangling her fingers around his. As they walked down the main walkway towards the bar they could both see heads being turned and whispered being made between eachother,this however didn't phase them.

Joe took Dianne and led her onto a barstool next to Stacey,kissing her cheek softly as he walked down to speak to Johannes and Kevin.

"Someone's in love!" Stacey laughed,playfully hitting Diannes leg as she saw a red flush enter her face.

"He's a good guy Stace,I just didn't expect to end up with him"she said,glancing over towards Joe as there eyes locked together and Dianne smiled towards him.

"I could tell from week one Di,the way you looked at eachother and the way you always came in to the studios so smiley and how even when you were stressing or upset,he could easily make you laugh. You two are paired so well!"

Every word Stacey had just said was so true. When Dianne came into rehearsals upset over Anthony,Joe was always there with some dad joke what made her burst into fits of laughter. Joe was the one who kind of saved Dianne,as cheesy as it sounded. Dianne loved him so much,she just knew there was a massive risk with loving him.

Dianne had decided to leave back to her hotel room as some of the others decided to head into Blackpool and one of them was Joe. Dianne had told him to go and enjoy himself as he deserved it but this meant she was lying in a cold empty bed by herself,wishing she had him to clutch too.

She was just drifting off to sleep as her phone buzzed next to her head. Stacey. Wasn't the person she expected but she looked at the text anyways.

11:47pm

' Joes done something stupid.'

What did this mean? Was it bad? How bad?

She didn't know what to do,she tried calling Joe over and over again to just be greeted by his voicemail. She was so worried about him when another text came through.

Stacey.

A photo was sent to her,Dianne quickly unlocking her phone to be greeted by a photo of Joe with his lips locked against another girl. Dianne had recognised the girl from when Joe had shown her a photo. They had a fling with eachother throughout the summer but Dianne had been reassured that he was completely over her. She knew this mystery girl lived in Manchester and everyone came to Blackpool at the weekends because it was known for its clubbing atmosphere.

She didn't know what to do other than cry. She didn't know if to be angry,upset,distraught,worried or anxious,all she knew is that she wanted him.

She heard a knocking at the door,expecting it to be Joe she wrapped herself in a bath robe and wiped the loose tears from her face to only open the door and be greeted by Amy. Dianne wrapped around her and burst into tears whilst Amy consoled her.

"You deserve better Dianne."

Dianne shook her head. She had the best,even if he kissed the girl she was told 'not to worry about'.
