Dianne Buswell Performs UK Tour Without Partner

Dianne Buswell, the champion of Strictly Come Dancing, has expressed her struggles performing on the live tour without her partner Chris McCausland, who is missing the tour due to scheduling conflicts with his comedy shows. In her latest YouTube vlog, she admitted it has been 'really tough' to see other contestants with their partners while knowing Chris cannot participate. Despite the challenges, Dianne remains grateful to be part of the tour and has decided to document her experiences in vlogs. Chris, the first champion to skip the UK tour, confirmed last year that his own commitments would prevent him from joining her, calling it 'unfortunate' but unavoidable. The tour began recently in Birmingham, featuring several other contestants from the show, while Chris's absence is felt by both Dianne and fans. Fellow dancer Tasha Ghouri noted that Chris's partnership with Dianne was inspiring and expressed sadness over his absence.
