BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans say Chris 'to win' after inspirational dance detail

Strictly Come Dancing finished on an emotional note as the audience and judges alike were tearing up after Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell's performance.

Everyone on the dance competition has been giving it their all this evening, Saturday, November 9, with all of the couples eager to make it through to Blackpool next week.

It was the very last performance, however, which caught fans' attention with blind comedian Chris McCausland taking to the dancefloor with his partner Dianne Buswell for their Couple's Choice routine.

They decided to perform to Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) by John Lennon, donning matching white tuxedos and top hats.

But near the end of their routine, there was a blackout as the music continued to play, showcasing what it's like for Chris to perform every week on the show.
