There was one star everyone wanted to win Strictly Come Dancing. And on Saturday night, he did it. Chris McCausland, and his pro partner Dianne Buswell, took home the Glitterball trophy. The comedian’s victory is a moment that transcends the show itself and one that has given this controversial series of the BBC juggernaut a phenomenal, wholesome ending.
McCausland’s triumph, as a man lost his sight at the age of 22, is a milestone that should certainly be celebrated (and I have no doubt the Strictly Class of 2024 will make sure the bubbly is flowing well into the early hours). But behind the scenes, I bet there’ll be some sighs of relief that this series is over.
