Dianne's POV
Last night me, Karen and Oti all stayed over mine as all of our studios were in the same building today and we needed a night just us girls. With Strictly going on, it's hard to find time to spend quality time together and just be girls.

"Come on Di, wakey wakey." Oti chuckled while she gently shook me awake. I didn't know how long I had been sleeping and how long she had been trying to wake me up, but I was a deep sleeper so I probably wasn't helping the situation along at all. I stirred, sitting up slowly.

"Hey Oti, what's the time?" I yawned, getting up and putting on a dressing gown. We could both hear Karen singing in the shower, giggling in the process.

"Only seven, there's a cup of tea on the coffee table." Oti was always so sweet, she was so lovely to everyone and anyone who disrespected her would be absolutely crazy, she wouldn't hurt a fly.

"Thanks Oti, you coming?" I smiled, making my way over to the living room, this morning was on. I had seen that show a few times but had never really watched it.

"Definitely."

We both slumped onto the sofas, Karen quickly joining us now dressed. Karen was always the early bird, she was always dressed bright and early and also looks amazing despite only being up an hour whenever we all see her arriving at the studio.

"How's things with Revo?" Oti asked, this year I was partnered with Reverend Richard Coles, he wasn't amazing by any means but he always tried his best and that was all that mattered, not to mention we had a laugh on the odd occasion.

I smiled and nodded. "Good, we will beat you both for sure." I giggled, they both gasped and slapped me, Karen my right and Oti my left.

"We will see." Oti says.

"We will see." I replied, all of us laughing. Karen turns up the volume, getting our attention.

Our next guest is Joe Sugg, social media star and YouTube sensation who has gone from thatching roofs to pulling pranks and making movies.

My eyes grow wide as I slump back in my seat, he was on live national television. Karen looked at me, asking me if I wanted to watch it with my eyes.

"Keep it on." I said, Oti waving a hand between us. She looked confused, but that was understandable as we hadn't told her, in fact Karen and Kevin were the only ones that knew.

"Can someone please explain to me what's going on?" she laughs, I nod telling Karen I'm going to tell her, Karen nods back and sips her tea.

"So I had a boyfriend who was abusive, he was called Anthony." I say, I didn't so much hurt over it anymore as Joe had helped me get over him, both sexually and emotionally. Oti nodded and put a supportive hand on mine.

I nodded. "He was deporting me and I had a night free before I could go back to Australia. Joe was a stranger but he helped me and we ended up going to Paris together." I said, Oti's face lit up and she grinned.

"Oh that's nice, he's coming on now." Oti said excitedly, all of us giggling and turning our attention to the TV where he sat down on the sofa, even seeing him through the screen he still gave me goosebumps all up and down my spine.

"Oh he's fit too, well fit." Oti said casually, the jealousy I felt then and there was like pure fire. Karen chuckled at this, sipping her tea and watching the conversation unfold.

"Hands off mabuse." I say, slapping her gently. She raises her eyebrows curiously.

"And you had your hands on him did you now?" she asked, I just sipped my tea silently. Oti giggled to herself. Karen laughed out loud.

"Maybe." was all I said, Oti burst out laughing, nearly falling off the sofa and collapsing onto the floors, I had to even reach out to hold her up.

We watched the interview as we had plenty of time before we needed to get ready, and the entire time he was just as I had known him, he hadn't changed at all. Obviously he looked slightly older but he still looked just as handsome. The fame didn't bother me one bit though, I knew him and fell in love with him for who he was, before I had any clue about his career and what it entailed.
