YouTuber Joe Sugg, who made his way into the mainstream spotlight after appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, has delighted fans with a picture of his sister, Zoella, and her baby bump.

Sugg shared the photo on his Instagram stories, and his sister also posted the pictures on her own Instagram feed as well.

This is what you need to know about the YouTubing family - from how long Joe has been with partner Dianne Buswell to when Zoe and boyfriend Alfie Deyes are expected to become parents.

Who is Joe Sugg?

Sugg is a 29 year old English YouTuber, actor and author, and is best known for his YouTube channel ThatcherJoe and ThatcherJoeVlogs.

He first started posting on the video sharing platform in August of 2012, and over the years has amassed a huge following of over seven million subscribers.

Alongside YouTube, Sugg has ventured into the world of film, appearing in projects such as the direct-to-DVD film Joe and Caspar Hit the Road, featuring fellow YouTuber Caspar Lee, and the followup film Joe and Caspar Hit the Road: USA.

Sugg is also the author of the graphic novels Username: Evie, Username: Regenerated and Username: Uprising.

In 2018, Sugg was introduced to a wider audience after he was announced as the first social media star to appear on Strictly Come Dancing. He was able to reach the finale of the series, and finished as a runner up.

After his appearance on the dancing competition, Sugg went on to star as Ogie Anhorn in the musical Waitress, in London’s West End.

He has also gone on to host programmes like The One Show on BBC One and the Red Nose Day telethon. He has also voiced characters in film and television shows, such as Wonder Park, The Amazing World of Gumball and A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon.

In 2020, he appeared as a guest panellist on the show Would I Lie to You, and the same year he also was a contestant on The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off.

Towards the end of 2020, in August, it was announced that Sugg would officially make his TV acting debut on the fourth season of the BBC One drama The Syndicate.

How did Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell meet - and how long have they been together?

Sugg and his partner Dianne Buswell met when he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, with Buswell being his professional dancing partner.

The day after the Strictly Come Dancing finale aired, the two confirmed that they were indeed in a relationship after much online speculation.

In August 2019, Sugg and Buswell moved in together, and earlier this year the pair reached a huge relationship milestone after buying a house together.

Sugg and Buswell had planned to tour the UK with The Joe and Dianne Show in 2020, but unfortunately due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they were forced to reschedule.

When is Zoella’s due date?

Suggs’ sister Zoe, also known as Zoella from her YouTube channel, revealed that she and boyfriend Alfie Deyes, also a YouTuber, are expecting their first child together in an Instagram post earlier this year in March.

The caption of the post read: “We’re super excited to share with you that our baby girl will be joining us in September.”

The two have been together for almost nine years, and in a recent interview with Metro, soon to be dad Deyes explained how they have struggled with choosing a name for their daughter.

He said: “I wish we had [decided on a name]. I just really want to see her little face!”

Deyes added: “I know so many people that have named their babies - the baby’s been born and then they’ve changed the name. I didn’t realise how it was to make a decision on the name.

“We’ve got one in mind that we really, really like, but I want to see her little face beforehand.”
