Strictly winners Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell announce surprise career move as they reunite after comedian skipped show's live tour


The comedian, 47, and pro, 35, made history in December after he became the first blind contestant to win the coveted Glitterball trophy.

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. Last month, it was claimed Chris – who is blind – had a big-money deal awaiting him to stay with the BBC as his humour 'can connect with ordinary viewers at home'. 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.
