Chris McCausland was announced as the winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2024 on Saturday night with his pro partner Dianne Buswell.
Chris and Dianne won the Glitterball trophy in the grand final, which also saw Sarah Hadland, Tasha Ghouri and JB Gill battle it out.
But it was comedian Chris and pro dancer Dianne who bagged the most votes, making him the first blind contestant to win the competition series.

Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell win Strictly
Following his win, Chris said: “It’s astonishing, I don’t know what to say. I honestly thought I was going to go out in the first week or two and I know nobody went out in the first week but I still thought I could.”
Viewers were over the moon to see Chris and Dianne win the show. However, others were gutted over one bit of news recently.
I know why he’s not doing it but I’m still sad Chris isn’t doing the tour.
Unlike previous winners, Chris won’t be doing the Strictly live tour in 2025. This is due to him already having his own comedy tour taking place at the same time.
Fans shared their thoughts, with one person calling it a “travesty”.
