Chris McCausland broke the ice as he took aim at Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood . Known for his high expectations for contestants of the BBC One competition, Craig Revel Horwood was back in the ballroom this Saturday, September 28, 2024. And though some performances managed to impress him, all earned some constructive criticism from the judge.
Ahead of his own dance, Chris McCausland was asked by presenter Claudia Winkleman how he felt, particularly due to Craig's presence on the panel - and the Liverpudlian comedian made it clear he wasn't afraid of him. Chris, who is making history as the first blind contestant to show off his dance moves in the programme, has become a firm favourite among fans of the show for his humour - his best weapon against Craig's firmness. Before answering Claudia's questions, Chris thus decided to show solidarity with those who had been on the receiving end of Craig's criticism as he quipped: "First of all, by the sound of how things are going, I think Craig is blinder than I am", leaving his co-stars and viewers in hysterics.
"‘By the sound of it, Craig is blinder than I am’ CHRIS IS A NATIONAL TREASURE #Strictly," one delighted viewer penned on Twitter (X) as the moment aired on BBC One. ""By the sounds of the way things are going, I think Craig is blinder than I am" GIVE CHRIS THE GLITTERBALL IMMEDIATELY #Strictly," another added, with a third quipping: "I think Craig is blinder than i am” CHRIS I LOVE YOU #Strictly."
