Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell was flooded with support after she shared a photo inside an oxygen chamber days after welcoming her first child, a baby boy called Bowden. The BBC star, who famously shares snapshots of her life on social media, has provided fans with glimpses of motherhood after she and Joe Sugg, 34, became first-time parents earlier this month. The 36-year-old has now admitted that the adjustment has been tough, with a difficult recovery and intense night feeds.

In a new Instagram post, the dancer documented her first week as a new mum, which included snapshots of her last moments with the bump and their first Sunday dinner as a family of three. Alongside the photos, Dianne captioned: "What a week 1. The last few hours of baby bump 2. Back when I would wonder what your little face would look like 3. One more selfie for good luck.

"4. The start of what was a very long day 5. A lot happened inbetween but I'm skipping to Home time 6. So cute, we were welcomed with balloons, flowers, food and just pure love."

Dianne added: "7. Watching this will never get boring 8. The reality of night feeds 9. glorious mornings 10. Welcome cards are my fav and always make me emotional, although that is not hard to do at the moment.

'11. Recovery in the oxygen chamber 12. The mirror selfies just got a whole lot better 13. Spring time walks with daddy. 14. Massive thank you to my Joey, who has been looking after us so so well couldn't of done all this without ya 15. Sunday."

After sharing a photo using the oxygen chamber and her recovery process, the choreographer was inundated with support, as one fan commented: "Wishing you a smooth recovery."

"Looks like you've cracked this parenting lark, seriously love the photos, you are doing amazing," added a second.

As a third penned: " Congratulations, take care of yourself. Such a precious little family."

Another fan echoed: "Beautiful photos of a beautiful family. Enjoy these early days, in fact enjoy every moment. What a lucky baby to have such fantastic parents."

"Well! You two are truly amazing, and now you are three! Thank you for sharing," said a fourth.

One emotional follower shared: "Love absolutely everything about this, just so thrilled for you both and it's such a treat for us to see some of these wonderful moments! Just dreamy and you look absolutely amazing! What a good team you are."
