Strictly winner Chris McCausland misses tour launch in Birmingham as he takes to the stage for the first time for his stand-up show just 12 miles away


Chris McCausland was all smiles on Friday night as he took to the stage for the first night of his Yonks! stand-up tour in Walsall.

Looking sharp in a grey suit and white T-shirt, the comic appeared to be having a great time as he continued the tour, which had previously been rescheduled from September to avoid clashing with his Strictly main show stint. A TV insider told The Sun:'What he did by keeping everyone in fits during the course of 'Strictly' was a show that he wasn't just funny, but proved he had a traditional sense of humour that can connect with the ordinary viewers at home. Chris not only made history during his Strictly stint as the show's first ever blind contestant, but also impressed bosses with his cheeky wit which is said to have helped to save the glitzy competition following a year of scandals.
