Dianne Buswell has shared an emotional message with fans confessing that she has never been “enough” – however her recently Strictly Come Dancing win, with comedian Chris McCausland, has helped her to see otherwise.

The BBC dance professional shared a clip of Demi Moore speaking at the Golden Globes awards about the struggles of showbiz. The actress’ message really resonated with Dianne as she said that she had felt similar throughout her career.

Adding her own message to the clip, Dianne penned on Instagram: “I can’t tell you how many times I have been told in my dance career that I’m not good enough, smart enough, skinny enough, technical enough… this really hits home!

“And totally what Chris and I was all about – that you don’t have to be perfect to be successful.”

In her Golden Globe award speech, Demi said: “Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a ‘popcorn’ actress and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something that I was allowed to have, that I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn’t be acknowledged.

“I bought in, and I believed that, and that corroded me over time, to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it, maybe I was complete. I’ve done what I was supposed to do.

“And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance, and the universe told me that you’re not done.”

She concluded the emotional speech as she shared that she now recognised that she “does belong”.

Chris and Dianne performed three routines to clinch the coveted title, beating fellow celebrity finalists Sarah Hadland, Tasha Ghouri and JB Gill.

At the time of the win, Chris shared a message saying: “We have just lasted and lasted. (Dianne is) positivity, she’s belief, and she’s honestly just one of the easiest people to be funny with.

“She deserves this so much. She’s just honestly one of the easiest people to be funny with the other and unless she changes her number, she’s stuck with me.

“This is for her (Dianne) and it’s for everyone out there that thought and got told they couldn’t do something.”
