Strictly’s Dianne Buswell takes a swipe at Toyah Willcox after she was slammed by fans for ‘dig’ at Chris McCausland
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell appeared to take a swipe at Toyah Wilcox after she was called out for her dig at Chris McCausland.
The 35-year-old dancer was left likening Toyah‘s appearance to the Wayne’s World character Garth Algar in what some fans may take as her hitting back against the 80s singer after comment she made about Dianne’s partner Chris.
It was in this clip that Dianne took her subtle swipe at Toyah with a very telling comment.
Chris told Dianne she “looked great” in character as Garth but she soon quipped that she more closely resembled Toyah.
The dancer answered back: “Yeah, I looked a bit like Toyah as well.”
Chris then said: “Yeah, Garth slash Toyah.”
For her look, Dianne donned a thick blonde wig as well as huge black glasses and paired it with a simple shirt and jeans combo for the performance.
Toyah had previously left Strictly viewers stunned when she appeared to take a “swipe” at Chris on Monday.
It came about when host Fleur East asked her: “You are such a tightknit group as well this year, do you have any advice or tips for the other celebs?”
Toyah laughed and started clapping, before pointing at the camera and shouting: “If you don’t want to do a dance off, get rid of Chris!”
Fleur then looked off camera and grimaced while Toyah then clarified: “You are all going to have to face a dance off.”
However, Toyah has since set the record straight and posted her own message on Instagram.
Sharing a picture of Chris, the singer wrote: “Just to clarify and clear up any confusion that’s flying around.
“My good friend @chrismccausland, is my favourite to win this year, I think he is inspiring and brilliant, he has worked so hard and I wish him nothing but love! Toyah x.”
