BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Chris McCausland says who 'might not like him' this weekend

Chris McCausland has suggested he may be 'forgeting' some votes when he returns to the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom this weekend. The comedian will perform in week five of the BBC One dance contest with Dianne Buswell on Saturday night (October 19).

The 47-year-old comedian has been wowing fans in the popular programme. Last weekend, he and Dianne performed a colourful and energetic Salsa to Down Under by Men At Work before making it through to another week in Strictly's 20th-anniversary series.

It's since been revealed the pair, who have been seen back in training for their next show, will be performing a Waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers, likely a nod to Chris' home city of Liverpool.

As the couple appeared on Tuesday's (October 15) It Takes Two, host Fleur East revealed: "This week you will be dancing the waltz to a version of this..." before You'll Never Walk Alone played in the studio. "Chris, as a Liverpool fan, this is such a big track for you, the iconic You'll Never Walk Alone. How are you going to bring your roots to this routine?" she asked.

"Everyone has a connection to the song so you don't want it to be rubbish," Chris, 47, replied before he joked: "If we can do something that Liverpool fans like, I have done it well. If we can do something that Everton and Manchester United fans like, we have worked a miracle!"

And Chris has once again pondered whether the football rivalries could do him a disservice. Writing in his weekly Strictly diary for The Telegraph, the star wrote: "This week it’s a slow one, thank goodness. We will be dancing a waltz to a song that is very close to my heart, and close to the heart of every Liverpool fan out there. You’ll Never Walk Alone was written for the musical Carousel back in the 1940s, but has been synonymous with Liverpool Football Club since the 1960s.

"It’s an emotional song, and the waltz is an emotive dance if done right, and we will do our utmost to do justice to both. I do worry that by dancing to this song we may be forfeiting a large number of votes from the blue half of Merseyside and the whole of the city of Manchester, but if that is the case then I can’t think of a more beautiful message to go out on than one of togetherness and hope."

He added: "The very much together Dianne and the extremely hopeful Chris will be waltzing about the place for your entertainment this Saturday, and if you’re an Everton fan or if you’re watching in Manchester then maybe turn the sound down and pretend we’re dancing to something else, as your votes will still be very much appreciated, thank you.2
