Strictly’s Chris McCausland shows his support for Dianne Buswell with sweet gesture after she breaks down in tears

Strictly Come Dancing’s Chris McCausland showed his support for his dance partner Dianne Buswell with a sweet gesture after she broke down in tears. 

The comedian, 47, was on hand to offer emotional support to the ballroom dancer, 35, as the pair received feedback from the judges on Saturday. 

The couple, who are current favourites to win the compeтιтion, took to the dancefloor at Blackpool’s iconic Tower Ballroom for the latest episode of the BBC show.

They performed the American Smooth to Jump by Paul Anka and after a stellar performance were told they were the 100th Strictly couple to take to the dancefloor. 

Their performance comes as the compeтιтion for the Glitterball trophy has intensified as only eight couples are left battling out to the final.

But despite the pressure neither Chris nor Dianne cracked under the pressure and their dance was awarded with a staggering 37 out of 40 points from the judges.

The pair’s jaw-dropping dancing follows Chris’s emotional confession. 

The Strictly star revealed that his daughter was worried about him taking part in the hit BBC show.

The stand-up and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell, 35, took to the dance floor last week to perform a Couple’s Choice routine to Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) by John Lennon.

But in a video shared before his performance, Chris revealed his 11-year-old wasn’t keen on him taking part as she worried he would ‘fall and break a leg’.

Chris said she was concerned about him ‘making a fool of himself’ on the show – which is broadcast to millions of viewers every Saturday.

‘My daughter is like me — I think she uses comedy to maybe hide her true worries sometimes,’ he said.

‘She was joking, “Oh yeah, you will probably fall off the stage and break your leg and ha, ha, ha”.’

Chris continued: ‘I do think there was a concern there. It is my job to look after Sophie and raise her. But I do think she does worry about me.

‘But there is an anxiety of looking silly or making a fool of yourself and being embarrᴀssed. Maybe she was a little bit worried about me doing that on the telly.

‘She is still nervous every week, but she has really got on board with it and she is embracing it now.’

The comedian said his daughter’s favourite dances so far had been his one to Wayne’s World in Movie Week and her second was the zombie one for Halloween.

Chris blew fans and judges away on Saturday evening with his ‘fearless’ performance.

The dance partners were praised for a poignant black-out moment in their routine that mimicked Chris’s own experience as a blind person.

Judge Craig Revel Horwood, 59, lauded their lifts as ‘absolutely spectacular’ while Motsi Mabuse, 43, said Chris was ‘inspiring us all’.
