That was 7 or 8 years ago living on the ship together. I think that was a different sort of relationship stage for her.

I think they were definitely together at the pride of Britain awards as the photo is taken after the event. They had to go straight from it takes two filming to the awards and missed the red carpet.I was slightly invested in this back in the day, so it was week 4/5 of Strictly that it was confirmed that Dianne and Anthony had split. The press said it was because she was getting too close to Joe, but Anthony said it didn't have anything to do with the Strictly curse. Then about 10 days later it was the Pride of Britain awards, and that night was when the photo that Joe used to announce they were together was taken, you can tell because Dianne is wearing the dress she wore to the awards. And if they weren't already a thing by that point, there were definitely feelings there from the way they were looking at each other googly eyed.
So TL;DR we don't know that there was an overlap between them, but there wasn't much of a gap
Week 4 of Strictly was also when this photo was taken, and I remember thinking The Cha Cha is the most boring dance for me and I barely remember any of them, but theirs sticks in my mind as a time when I thought Dianne looked really stunning, she had a lovely figure. She's a bit too thin now.
