Comedian Chris McCausland and his professional partner Dianne Buswell were crowned winners on the evening after impressing with their three dances. Chris has made Strictly history, becoming the show’s first ever blind winner.


After being announced as winners, Chris said: “This is for her (Dianne) and it’s for everyone out there that thought and got told they couldn’t do something. It just shows with opportunity and support and determination, anything can happen.”
Thanking his Dianne, Chris added: “She deserves this so much. She’s just honestly one of the easiest people to be funny with – and unless she changes her number, she’s stuck with me.”
Dianne said of their win: “Chris says that this is for me, but it’s not for me – this is for me and you, Chris. We did this together. This is for both of us, not just me, we worked together and we did it.”

Chris’ win was also celebrated by charities, including Sense and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). Sense campaigns officer Steven Morris said that the history-making moment could “lead to many more disabled people being included in the biggest TV shows”, while Debbie Miller, director of customer advice and support at RNIB added that Chris’ run on this year’s Strictly has “sparked so many positive conversations”.
