In 2025, Dianne was criticised for taking part in Strictly Come Dancing while she was pregnant.
But the dancer - who was partnered with former Neighbours star Stefan Dennis on the show - was quick to hit back at a troll on social media.
The troll initially wrote on Instagram: "I don't want to see her dance being pregnant, it's already feeling uncomfortable, and she's only starting to show.
"It's really not appropriate."
Dianne was quick to respond to the troll, insisting that criticism of her decision to compete on the TV show was misplaced.
The dancer - who reached the Strictly final in 2018 with Joe and again in 2023 with Bobby Brazier - said: "I can't believe in 2025 things like this are still being said."
