Strictly Come Dancing sensation Chris McCausland has whipped up a storm with his latest dance routine, leaving head judge Shirley Ballas on the brink of tears and fans gobsmacked. The show's first-ever blind contestant, Chris showcased an astonishing cha-cha with pro dancer Dianne Buswell to The Beatles classic Twist and Shout. Their performance featured devilishly intricate legwork that had Chris weaving an entwined Dianne through his legs - a daunting feat that even seasoned pro Anton Du Beke admits to steering clear of.
Struck by awe, fans immediately hit social media to voice their admiration for Chris. One fan gushed on Twitter: "Chris McCausland on tonight - one of the most amazing dances ever! How a blind person can do what he did was unbelievable!" Another added their praises: "So glad I saw Chris McCausland's stand up before he was on Strictly because he's going to blow up now." Meanwhile, another chimed in with vocal support: "Chris and Dianne! What a team so so proud of my team.
The way Dianne's taught Chris all of this and really played to his strengths is soooo beautiful! What a special bond they have!! I am so so excited to see what more they bring every week," reports . Caught up in the emotion of the moment, Shirley Ballas confessed: "When I saw the street lights at the beginning, I really didn't know what to expect. You had lifts just to take her between your legs, you have to time that, it's hard enough as it is! You had great skills when it came to listenin.
