Chris McCausland recalls injury during Strictly win

Chris McCausland, the first blind champion of Strictly Come Dancing, has shared his challenging experience during the competition, particularly highlighting a painful injury he suffered while attempting a TikTok dance move with partner Dianne Buswell. He described the intense training regimen, which consists of eight hours a day, six days a week, leading to various injuries, including the jive's toll on his body. McCausland recalled the emotional moment of winning the Glitterball trophy, where he and Dianne crumpled together in tears during their victory announcement. He humorously expressed hesitation about participating in Dancing on Ice, stating he would likely end up in a double cast due to his lack of skating skills. Despite the physical challenges, he has remained close friends with Dianne, and they recently launched a podcast together. McCausland's journey has inspired many, showcasing resilience and determination against the odds.
