Strictly: Chris McCausland announced as 2024 contestant This Morning fans were in hysterics at comedian Chris McCausland as he shared that he had never watched BBC's Strictly Come Dancing - despite being the first face confirmed in the 2024 celebrity line up. The Have I Got News For You and 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown star was unveiled on ITV's This Morning as hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle quizzed him about why he decided to sign up. The 47-year-old joked he has “never watched” Strictly, saying that there's "no point" when you're blind.
He added: "This is literally the worst-kept secret there has ever been in British television. I think it’s been out there – it’s been exhausting keeping a secret everyone seems to know.” Asked how he feels about taking part, he said: “Apprehensive, massively apprehensive.
I don’t know what I’m getting myself into. I’ve never watched it, obviously. It’s just some music.
"I don’t dance, I have never danced. I grew up with headbanging and mosh pits." Fans on Twitter pointed out Josie's mistake when she asked him about watching the programme, thinking the interaction was hilarious.
