Dianne took to her Instagram Stories to share a video of her celebrity partner attending his brother's nuptials with his now-wife Yasmin, which took place at five-star hotel Long Beach Resort next to the sea.

Dressed in a dapper black suit, crisp white shirt and bow tie, best man Tyler looked smart as he showed off his dance moves with designer and stylist Sam Fenton. So not even a wedding in the Indian Ocean 12,000 miles away can stop him from practising!

Radio DJ Tyler also shared a series of photos of his whistlestop visit, writing: "Mr & Mrs West. The best day. Proudest brother."

He admitted to the MailOnline that he was determined to attend his brother's wedding regardless of whether he was competing in Strictly, adding that it was a "once in a lifetime experience."

He explained that he only "just got there in time" after being held up at the airport, but he managed to spend three hours with all of his family before jetting back to the UK.

The radio DJ flew to Mauritius for just three hours

"I'm an emotional wreck," he said, after a full day of training on Tuesday, followed by a 12-hour flight and a visit from 3-6 pm, before heading straight back to rehearsals with Dianne on Thursday.

"My brother and I are so close, so I was never going to miss that moment where he said I do. He was so overwhelmed I was able to be there," he added.

While he got to watch the ceremony, he said "it has really pulled on my heartstrings that I have missed the first ever dance." No doubt he'll have his brother and new sister-in-law on his mind as he takes to the dancefloor this weekend.
