Strictly Come Dancing’s Chris McCausland gets first 10s on Blackpool Week

As a seasoned critic with a keen eye for dance and a soft spot for underdog stories, I must say that Chris McCausland has truly taken the Strictly Come Dancing stage by storm this year. His journey as the first blind participant in the long-running competition is nothing short of inspiring, and his partnership with Dianne Buswell seems to be a match made in heaven – or perhaps, on the dance floor.

2024 season’s Strictly Come Dancing competitor, Chris McCausland, left the judges spellbound with an elegant performance of the American Smooth during Blackpool Week. This marked his initial perfect scores of 10s in the series.

The comedian became historic by being the first visually impaired contestant on the extended run of the dance competition. It turned out that he and his partner, Dianne Buswell, were an ideal pair.

Following several impressive showings, highlighted by a performance last week that netted them a pair of 9s, the duo managed to secure a flawless 10 from Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke. This exceptional rating significantly boosted their total score, resulting in a personal best of 37 points!

Ballas remarked, “This dancefloor is meant for exceptional feet, and yours are exceptionally good, a rarity I haven’t seen in quite some time.

Craig Revel Horwood offered his signature insightful critique, offering helpful suggestions on Chris’s rhythm and dance moves. Despite this, he acknowledged a fantastic performance overall, scoring it an impressive ‘8’.

Motsi Mabuse remarked: “That was a powerful statement. That was exquisite dance. If you look around, everything appears to have improved. Your determination to keep going proves that you can achieve greatness.

She went on to give the couple a near-perfect ‘9’, with their grand total getting tonight’s show off to a highly competitive start. Check our Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard page for the latest updates on the rankings.
