BBC Strictly's Craig Revel Horwood has three words for dancer

Strictly Come Dancing's Chris McCausland left fans stunned during Movie Week as he performed a jive to the Wayne's World theme with professional partner Dianna Buswell

BBC Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts had their 'minds blown' when Chris McCausland took to the dance floor for an unforgettable routine during Movie Week - indeed, even the typically stern judge Craig Revel Horwood couldn't help but lavish praise on him. Post-jive to the Wayne's World theme alongside his pro partner Dianna Buswell—the comedian, who is visually impaired—received an outpouring of support on Twitter.

The judges too were visibly moved, with Craig, donned in Jack Sparrow attire from Pirates of the Caribbean, affirming with three little words: "You're a dancer" whilst awarding him seven points. Their performance, described by Craig as "packed full of fantastic rhythm" netted them a grand total of 30 points from the panel.

Social media was alight with comments, one viewer posted on X stating: "Blimey, who swapped @CraigRevHorwood for a human this week? @chrismccausland #strictly."

A second expressed: "Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell are the partnership we never knew we needed; they absolutely fill my heart with joy! #Strictly" Another comment read: "Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell for the win #Strictly Iconic."

A further fan enthused: "Every week @chrismccausland and @dbuzz6589 just seem to get better and better! Just incredible #Strictly.", reports the Mirror.

And yet another tweet praised: "I had to watch #Chris again so bloody joyful he's amazing! @chrismccausland #Strictly."

Dressed as Wayne from Wayne's World, Chris had fans doing a double-take with his uncanny resemblance to singer Lewis Capaldi. Viewers took to social media to express their amazement, with one person commenting: "Chris and Dianne were amazing. Honestly I'm so impressed with Chris here I've never seen a man who is blind that can dance it is actually brilliant. The costume is amazing. I didn't recognise Chris here he looks like Lewis Capaldi."

This year's Strictly Come Dancing series is particularly special as it celebrates its 20th anniversary, coming off the back of a challenging period marked by controversy.

Last year, contestant Amanda Abbingdon departed prematurely amid complaints about her treatment behind the scenes. Although an investigation this week upheld claims of verbal bullying and harassment, it was confirmed that there was no physical aggression involved.

Meanwhile, the latest episode delivered another surprise when Olympic swimmer Tom Dean was eliminated early on, despite Toyah Wilcox ranking lowest after the judges' scores.
