Strictly’s Chris McCausland made a heartbreaking confession after his latest routine, saying that he found it “overwhelming.”
During the second week, the comedian and his dance partner Dianne Buswell performed a Fox Trot to ‘Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy.’ It came after the pair did a Cha Cha Cha to Lulu’s ‘Twist and Shout’ during the launch show.
The couple recieved plenty of praise from their dance, scoring 29 points out of a possible 40. They garnered plenty of praise from the judges, with Anton saying that Chris’ timing was exceptional.
Following last week’s launch for the 22nd series (September 14), figures indicated the first show was watched by almost a million fewer viewers than 2023.
An average of 5.5million viewers tuned in between 7.20pm and 9pm, in comparison to 6.2million for the launch show last year.
