Strictly’s Chris McCausland is seen for the first time since getting through to the quarter final as he enjoys casual stroll with his wife

Strictly Come Dancing’s Chris McCausland has been seen for the first time since making it through to the show’s quarter final.

The blind comedian, 47, enjoyed a casual walk with his wife Patricia in West London before popping to a coffee shop together.

Chris, dressed down in a black zip-up sweater and white sports cap, was supported by Patricia, who tenderly looped her arm into his. 

Patricia echoed her husband’s relaxed attire, donning a brown sweater and loose-fitting jeans.  

The star looked in good spirits as he enjoyed some downtime from rehearsals with dance partner Diane Buswell.

At one point, Chris was seen standing outside of the coffee shop alone and busied himself with his mobile phone as Patricia presumably picked up their beverages inside.

Chris and Dianne’s success on Saturday means they make it through to the quarter final. 

Jamie Borthwick and his partner Michelle Tsiakkas were the latest pair to be eliminated after facing the dance-off against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe.

Chris’ outing comes after he broke his silence after furious Strictly fans branded the Samba-thon ‘discriminatory, unfair and in poor taste’.

The funnyman took to the dancefloor on Saturday night to compete in a high drama Samba-thon involving all seven couples on the floor at the same time.

But viewers thought Chris was at an unfair disadvantage because he has no concept of spatial awareness, despite judges actively encouraging the celebs ‘move around’ the floor.

Chris and his professional dance partner Dianne were the first couple to be sent off of the ballroom floor.

Going off the dancefloor first meant Chris and Dianne were only awarded one point, placing them second to bottom of the judges’ scoreboard.

But in their solo performance later in the episode, they delivered a fiery pasodoble for their performance tonight, which earned them 32 points.

Fans on X wrote: ‘I find it shocking they chose this year to bring back the sambathon when Chris cannot see any of the other couples/be spatially aware of other couples. Like of course he’s gonna get voted off first? Not in good taste in my opinion’, 

‘I’m sorry but the sambathon was very discrimatory against Chris, he had no perception of where the others were and he wasn’t able to do half the moves the other couples were doing because he had to be connected to Dianne, very poor from’,

‘Had it been an annual thing, that’s one thing… but they chose to bring it back!!! It was deliberated! Selected! Put in place! With a BLIND and very popular contestant! MAD!!!’,

‘Could have had money on Chris being the 1st out. Wholly unfair. The way he cheered for the 1 point, I think was his way of saying f you’,

‘To be honest it was a bit of a joke as far as Chris was concerned, and it obviously didn’t bother him. He’s going to get through anyway, it’s the rest that are scrabbling for places’. 

After viewers branded the samba-thon ‘discriminatory’ towards Chris, he took to Instagram to reflect on his performance.

He wrote: ‘I was really proud of our dance on Saturday, and as for the Sambathon….[zipped-mouth emoji] ….Well thank you so much for all of your votes. 

‘You really did help us survive double Latin! See you tomorrow partner [Dianne Buswell], I’ll be bringing earplugs❤️’
