Chris McCausland declines Strictly Come Dancing's offer for quiet audience during performances
Comedian Chris McCausland revealed he declined a special offer from the producers of Strictly Come Dancing to ask the audience to remain quiet during his performances. He prefers the audience's reaction, despite the challenges it brings.
Chris, the first blind contestant on the show, discussed his nerves and the impact of audience noise on his dancing. He shared that he often relies on his partner, Dianne Buswell, for guidance during routines.
During Halloween week, Chris forgot their routine just before performing. Dianne reassured him, and they managed to find their rhythm moments before taking the stage. Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturdays at 6:30pm on BBC One.
