BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Chris McCausland leaves fans in tears as they say judge 'should be ashamed'

by · Manchester Evening News

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were once again in tears as Chris McCausland pulled another impressive routine out of the bag alongside professional dance partner Dianne Buswell.

The pair were back in the ballroom on Saturday night (October 12) as week four of the BBC One dance contest got underway. And it's fair to say comedian Chris and Dianne were impressed again, as they received a standing ovation in the ballroom.

Chris, who is Strictly's first blind contestant, performed a Salsa to Down Under by Men At Work and Dianne, who got to bring a touch of Australia to her routine, gushed that she was never more proud of Chris as she fought back tears before they were awarded 30 points.

And despite an impressive score, which was on par with their Movie Week jive to the Wayne's World Theme, Strictly fans were not happy with Craig's decision to award Chrs a six.

@Barbara94742236 said: "Is Craig actually having a laugh Chris and Diane’s dance was unreal the salsa a 6 omg like #strictly." @BSupport73 asked: "Why did Craig just gave Chris a 6? Are you serious? #Strictly." @rahhead01 commented: "Craig calling Chris’ dance ‘bonza’ and then scoring it a 6?!!!! No Craig, it was NEVER a 6!!!! Ffs! #Strictly."

@Rosie12_1994 wrote: "#Strictly Craig should be ashamed no way was that just a 6!!" @TVqueertiques posted: "A 6 from Craig for that performance is ridiculous #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing." @BailzSmallwood shared: "Craig is suffering from a condition where he scores everyone 2 below what they should've gotten. Because that was NOT a 6 #strictly." @TraylorHolmes added: "That was worth more than 6 Craig, come on #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly."

Meanwhile, others shared how the routine left them in tears. @EloquentParrot said: "Not ashamed to say I shed a few very happy tears after Chris and Dianne. Amazing. #Strictly." @Imtherealanon commented: "What Chris and Dianne are doing is astonishing. Chris cannot see but Dianne has placed her utmost trust in him with those lifts.
