Chris McCausland & Diane Buswell: Making Strictly History Together! | This Morning

He's twisted, slided and quick-footed his way into the ballroom - but what makes Chris McCausland's Strictly skills so impressive, is that he's the show's first ever blind contestant. The comedian joins us in the studio this morning with his Strictly dance partner Diane Buswell, to tell us about wowing the audience and the judges, and using his quick wit to keep Craig in check.

If your having a bad day just watch Chris and dianne. They are a joy to watch and very entertains. Love them both. ❤❤

[@Thai.Farang]

Until she decides that he was abusing her in three years time

[@paulcroasdale5165]

I don't even watch strictly but I'm obsessed with watching these 2 together love them.

[@rosiejones4589]

If you've never watched Strictly then this is the time to do it. Chris and Diane are incredible.

[@loulowbridge]

As a parent of a 3-year-old that's registered blind. This is so inspiring to watch

[@matthewbacon5734]

I'm the youngest of five, nearly 54 now but I can remember my Mum after a bad day screaming at us all she would say "That's it I'm leaving it all to the Blind Babies". She did leave a thousand pounds to the blind babies in the end, I think we all agreed with that. I drive a PTS Ambulance now and meet a blind person now and then, one man was eighty and he said "I've always been blind, I've always had a job and a wonderful life but I feel sorry for those people that go blind later on."

[@annettestephens7107]

I love this partnership it’s full of fun and laughter ❤ keep doing what you are doing you are incredible Chris x

[@smallperson7522]

Chris is incredible!! 🙏🏼💜

[@audspod1]

Chris and Diane are amazing! I love watching them.

[@denisedoran8734]

Love Chris, this is what Strictly should be all about. He’s so brave

[@stormhockey1979]

Could NOT agree more - he needs to WIN!

[@junbh2]

I wouldn't say 'brave', that just sounds super patronising. And it shouldn't be frightening, just maybe hard - but also he's a comedian, not a dancer, so he isn't expecting to be super good.

[@AnnemarieHolden]

​@@junbh2I think he should be the one to decide what's patronising not anyone else.

[@stormhockey1979]

@@junbh2I think he is super brave & Chris isn’t the type to get offended by that, thankfully 🤦‍♀️

[@philipowen3370]

​@@junbh2I think he is very brave to take on the challenge he could easily have made a fool of himself by tripping or catching the edges of the dance floor.

[@Simondavids373]

What a truly amazing partnership they have, the stars were aligned when they were partnered up 💫❤

[@elzzzzz2109]

[@lizgillies3564]

Fabulous dance partners. I definitely hope they lift the glitter ball . So deserved Diane is a brilliant teacher she should be so proud of them both ❤❤❤❤

[@smudgercfc9827]

Love these 2's. They are doing so well, Chris dancing is amazing and Dianne's teaching is out of this world. And what a partnership; the reels on Dianne's Instagram show how well they are getting on.

[@Daryl0601]

[@philipowen3370]

It's amazing how Dianne can teach him the moves and also amazes me how Chris can learn all these moves having no sight. Truly incredible

[@lindaharmer-brown5678]

I believe he's not totally blind?

[@suzannenation7832]

[@lanceausnz5997]

I've just realised something, while they are dancing Dianne has to lead while making out that Chris is actually leading the dance to the judges. ❤❤

[@jewels_x]

[@TheAndrewWray]

These two fine dancers are the dream team of Strictly 2024

[@davidgilmour5555]

So brilliant…

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

He is unsighted she treats him well, he is the male in this partnership and is expected to take charge during the dance so this is a situation where the Blind is leading the kind.

[@karynconner7478]

[@jessicarushworth414]

When it goes blurry is that supposed to be what it's like for Chris?

[@vallee3140]

I would say so, shame, wish he and all blind people, could get their sight restored.

[@carlam285]

No.. Chris is completely blind, he doesn’t see anything… it’s blurred because they can’t put it on here because of copyright from the BBC.
