by · Manchester Evening News

Strictly Come Dancing fans are already expecting an emotional reaction as details about Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell's next performance were revealed.

The paire are currently frontrunners to life the coveted Glitterball trophy just a month into the BBC One dance contest's 2024 run. Over the weekend, comedian Chris and professional dance partner Dianne returned to the show's iconic ballroom as week four of the competition got underway on Saturday night (October 12).

They performed a colourful and energetic Salsa to Down Under by Men At Work and afterwards, Dianne, who got to bring a touch of Australia to her routine with the staging of 'Kangaroo hops', gushed that she was never more proud of Chris as she fought back tears before they were awarded 30 points out of a possible 40.

It was confirmed during Sunday night's results show (October 13) that Chris and Dianne had safely made it through to week five of Strictly's 20th-anniversary series following the public vote.

It's now been revealed that the pair, who have been seen back in training for their next performance on Saturday (October 19), 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.

Responding to the news on Tuesday (October 15), @finulaward79 said: "I knew Chris and Di would do You'll Never Walk Alone at some point." @taimeb3123 commented: "Cant wait see them all but chris and dianne are dancing to my late grandads fave song so can see the floods will be coming." @carla300791 wrote: "Feel like Chris and Dianne’s will be very emotional." @alvinscheeseball added: "A waltz to you’ll never walk alone will probably break me."

It comes after Chris and Dianne returned to social media together in their first video from their series - CHRIS’S DIAnneRIES - of the week.

In the clip, Dianne says: "We survived another week!" to which Chris replied: "Well why did we survive another week, Di?" She said: "Because of the lovely people who support us," as Chris interjected: "Because of the generosity of the people out there that picked up their phones, got their thumbs ready, texted, emailed, whatever it is you do... We're still here!"

They reflected on the emotional side of taking part int he show before Chris turned to Dianne and said: "You did a great job too." She replied: "Thank you. We both did a fantastic job and you know, onwards and upwards. We have a very lovely dance this week and I'm very excited about it."
