Strictly fans had been sceptical about whether comedian Chris McCausland could deliver on the dancefloor - and no one had been more unconvinced than the man himself. He confessed: "I don’t dance, I haven’t danced, I can’t dance, I can’t see the dancing I will have to do. What can possibly go wrong?" However, when he finally took to the floor with Aussie pro partner Dianne Buswell for a Cha Cha to the tune of The Beatles' 'Twist and Shout', he was an instant hit.
One fan took to Twitter to urge: "Give him the glitterball now, I loved that.. they're bringing the house down on social media, he's hilarious & Di's enjoying every minute with him.
. I'm clapping here and will probably keep doing it until Xmas!" Another appreciatively commented: "Kudos to Diane for teaching Chris and to Chris, for delivering a performance which seems like such an impossible task. Respect for the energy and courage.
#StrictlyComeDancing #strictly." A third chimed in: "Wow, that was honestly better than anything I imagined! Dianne has done amazing teaching Chris!" Meanwhile, one fan exclaimed that he could now scarcely believe Chris' claims that he wouldn't be a competent dancer. They quipped: "Chris is having us all on, or else he is an absolutely star.
Performance of the night." As the praise kept pouring in, with admissions that viewers' jaws were "on the floor", someone else echoed the mood by commanding: "Just give Chris the trophy now #strictly." his is a breaking live TV story, the Showbi.
