Chris McCausland will ‘make it up as he goes along’ on Strictly Come Dancing

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris McCausland plans to “make it up as [he] goes along” on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 47-year-old comedian will be the first blind contestant to appear on the hit BBC show and admitted he doesn’t know yet how the rehearsal process will work for him and his dance partner, but he will just work it out as they progress in the competition.
He told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “We’ll make it up as we go along and figure it out. Sometimes I think it might be better for me to feel where my partner’s legs are going, and sometimes it would be better for her to just pick up my leg and put it where it’s supposed to be.”
Chris – who began losing his sight in his teenage years due to a condition called retinitis pigmentosa – admitted his daughter initially asked him not to take part because she was worried he’d get seriously hurt.
He said: “When I told my 10-year-old daughter Sophie I was taking part and showed her a clip of the show online, her immediate response was, ‘Don’t do it! You’ll fall off the stage and break your leg.’ Not quite the ringing endorsement other celebrities get. But I’ve checked and there is no stage so the joke’s on her…
“I sincerely hope they will have wrapped the cameras in layers of foam just in case.
“I can see myself taking out three of them in a single foxtrot.”
The comic is ready to embrace the “ridiculous” costumes on the show and is happy to where whatever the wardrobe team present to him.
He said: “I began with misgivings about looking ridiculous, but I’ve got over them – there’s no point looking like half a wally.
“I’m now the wardrobe team’s absolute dream – they can truss me up in anything they like and I’ll step out with a great big smile on my face.”
