Dianne Buswell has told fans she's 'still in Australia' as she revealed how she's had to change her flight back to the UK three times so far as she deals with a number of family emergencies. The Strictly Come Dancing star has had quite a bittersweet trip back home to see her family, with her recently sharing the heartbreaking loss of her beloved Nan, and now sharing how her dad has been unwell and in the hospital. Earlier this month, Dianne revealed online that she'd said a final goodbye to her grandmother. Taking to Instagram on Saturday (March 8), Dianne shared a video of herself and her Nan. Alongside the sweet clip, she told her online following: "Rest in peace nan. Love you very much. I’m so grateful I was home to say goodbye to such a special lady in my life. Now go be with pop he has been patiently waiting for you." It was then last weekend that Dianne took to Instagram and shared a photo of herself with her day, who was laying alongside her in a hospital bed. "My dad my super hero," Dianne captioned the post. It isn't until now that Dianne shared more details about her dad's ill health, revealing he ended up having open heart surgery after regular check-ups following a previous cancer diagnosis flagged concerns with his heart. Speaking to her celebrity dance partner Chris McCausland in the latest episode of their podcast, Winning Isn't Everything, Dianne said she was wearing a hat in her dad's honour that he was seen sporting during the epic Strictly final back in December. "I thought I'm going to wear it in honour of Mark today because in this podcast I think we'll talk about Mark a fair bit," she said before Chris laughed in response: "Are we, Di? Why? What's possibly happened, Di?" Dianne replied: "Well Chris, the reason I'm still in Australia..." She then digressed as she commented: "My flight has been changed three times now to come home and in this short space of time that I've been on my holiday ,because I went to a wedding in South Africa, on my holiday I've been to a wedding, I've been to a funeral, I've been to a christening, I've been in intensive care unit wards numerous times, we've been nominated for a BAFTA.... "There's been so many ups and downs in this short space of time, it's been pretty intense. I'm still in Perth, I'm in a hotel room at the moment literally 500 metres from the Perth hospital and the reason I'm there is my dad's in there." The professional dancer was quick to reassure everyone as she said: "He's doing well everyone. He's doing really well. First and foremost, I'm going to put that out there because we're very happy about this news that he is in recovery and the doctors think he's doing great..." Dianne explained that the doctors have been amazed at the speed of Mark's recovery having undergone a double heart bypass as the main artery to his heart was blocked. "They can't believe how fit he is," Dianne said. Chris quipped: "They can't believe how fast he is recovering. I can't.... It's the only fast thing he's done since I've met him." As she giggled, Dianne said: "It's so true!" But Dianne did share her own surprise. "He ended up being rushed to hospital to have open heart surgery. He was basically all blocked up and the scary thing is, Chris, all that excitement at Strictly Come Dancing , it could have ended really bad! It could have been the reason... Do you see where I'm going with this?" Chris replied: "I am. It would have been..." They both started to laugh as Dianne went on: "I don't want to laugh about it but I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful..." It comes after a number of Dianne's Strictly co-stars sent their well wishes to Mark after Dianne shared a picture of him in the hospital. Vito Coppola said: "MAAAAAAARK! You are [strong]. We are all with you. See you soon for a super hug." Nikita Kuzmin replied: "Loads of love to Mark." Shirley Ballas shared: "Love dad. Love you be strong."
