Bobby Brazier’s partner Dianne Buswell has been "left feeling down" by trolling over her closeness to the EastEnders actor.
Sources told how Dianne, 34, has been the target of cruel remarks since Bobby, 20, admitted last month that he was “falling in love” with her. His remarks saw them both slammed by fans - including overzealous supporters of Dianne’s boyfriend Joe Sugg.
While some accused Bobby of being “disrespectful” others have concentrated their criticism on Dianne, posting vicious messages on forum Digital Spy which describe their partnership as “uncomfortable” and “inappropriate.” And the barbed posts are said to have had a devastating impact on the professional dancer.
Bobby has been very supportive of Dianne (BBC)One insider said: “The cruel remarks she has read about her relationship with Bobby - who has been really supportive - have hit her hard. Her and Joe are still very much together and he has also been very supportive, and made it clear publicly that he has her back."
Speaking at the Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards last month, Bobby gushed about his pro partner: “I could speak about Dianne all day. She’s just a diamond - you know what, I’m falling in love with her. She’s just great. I feel very lucky.” In a separate interview at the same event, he said: “At the minute my hero is Dianne Buswell, she’s like my sister who I kind of fancy a bit at the same time. She’s an unbelievable dancer.”

However, in spite of some criticism, many fans were supportive of the pair. One wrote on Digital Spy: “Bobby is still very young and will make mistakes. I understand where people are coming from but it’s not like Dianne will leave her long term relationship for 20 year old Bobby. People need to get a grip and stop being so sensitive.”
