An unusually low-spirited Bobby, 20, held his show partner as she struggled with her emotions.
All week, fans speculated whether it had anything to do with Dianne’s 34-year-old relationship with YouTube star Joe Sugg.
But now she’s taken to YouTube to set the record straight, revealing that it was actually linked to an illness in her family.
She said: “I thought I would be very open and honest with you all.
“Last week I got some news about my dad’s health and I won’t go into details, but obviously it affected me.
“Being away from home and not being able to support and help your family in a time of need is quite a difficult thing so I’ve been struggling with that a bit over the last week.”
A health scare appears to have changed plans for a family get-together for Christmas, with Dianne now heading to her native Australia instead of them visiting her here in the UK.
She said: “My dad has a bit of a road ahead of him, but I believe 100 per cent that he will be fine and that we will all get through this together.”
The popular redhead asked fans to say a prayer for her father before paying him a touching tribute.
Dianne said: “My dad is the sweetest, kindest man you’ll ever meet and the only thing he really wants is for me to keep going and keep dancing my little heart out and doing what I love because that’s what makes him most proud.
“Whether I go home with a glitter ball or not, I’m going to go home and have a hot Christmas.”
During an interview after the dance last week, Bobby and Dianne said things were “tough” behind the scenes.
She called Bobby her “rock”, leading to romance rumors on social media.
The pair have been more upbeat this week and last night performed a spectacular Viennese waltz that many felt deserved more than the 32 points awarded by the judges.
