Privacy NoticeStrictly Come Dancing’s Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell delivered a tear-jerking performance with their waltz to the iconic Liverpool anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone on Saturday night, leaving the audience and judges deeply moved. The dance floor was theirs as they earned a standing ovation and glowing comments from the judges, bagging a whopping 35 points – their highest score yet. Post-performance, modest Chris turned to his pro partner Dianne and asked, “Did I do okay? ” to which she warmly responded, “I’m so proud of you! “. Their heartfelt routine set Twitter ablaze. One fan tweeted: “Genuinely sobbing at chris and dianne’s dance right now. it was unbelievably stunning #strictly”, while another shared: “Sobbing at Chris AGAIN #Strictly”.

The emotional moment follows a challenging week for Chris, 47, who is breaking new ground as the show’s first blind contestant. He faced a hurdle when he sprained his wrist during rehearsals, leading to a visit to the doctors. In a candid piece for The Times, Chris opened up about his intense training sessions with Australian dancer Dianne, 35. Despite last week’s impressive salsa that scored them 30 points, he revealed he was battling through a “horrible stinking cold”. Chris joked that he had mentioned he felt ill to Dianne “several times an hour”, and the 35 year old had reprimanded the star for “moaning”. He quipped: “I would simply say that I was keeping her up-to-date with what my body was telling me and my body was moaning.”

The comedian went on to reveal he recently sustained an injury and he even accidentally injured Dianne during rehearsals after forgetting he had a sprained wrist. “As sprains go, it was a mild one and I was deemed fit to dance by the Strictly physio, but I needed to wear a wrist support,” Chris explained. “On the Thursday I did actually forget to put this wrist support on and ended up dropping poor Dianne in a rather unflattering heap on the floor. Sorry Dianne.” Meanwhile, Chris recently discussed performing the waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone, as he confessed he was worried he would upset Liverpool fans. “Everyone has a connection to the song so you don’t want it to be rubbish,” he told It Takes Two host Fleur East. “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! “.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
