Strictly Come Dancing: Chris McCausland praised for ‘blackout’ dance moment

Comedian Chris McCausland wowed Strictly Come Dancing fans on Saturday (9 November), as he danced through a ‘blackout’ alongside partner, Dianne Buswell.

The duo chose Karma! (We All Shine On) by John Lennon for their couple’s choice routine, which saw them mimic what it’s like for McCausland to be dancing while blind.

What was a performance packed with lights and glitz quickly shut down into darkness for a few seconds, and when the lights came back up, he had his partner lifted above his head in an impressive move.

Judge, Shirley Ballas, told him: “You have no fear. You come out every week with your heart on your sleeve, and you give us 100%.”
