BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Chris McCausland details 'beautifully positive message' in latest performance

Chris McCausland has shared the 'beautifully positive message' he will try and send out during his next Strictly Come Dancing performance.

The comedian is back in the ballroom this weekend alongside professional dance partner Dianne Buswell after they successfully made it through to week eight of the BBC One dance contest meaning the remaining nine couples are fighting for a place in the annual Blackpool special.

Last weekend, Chris appeared to be fearing for his future in the hit dance show last weekend as he performed during Strictly's first-ever 'Icons Week' before it was confirmed he was through to another week in the show alongside Dianne during the latest results show last Sunday night (November 3).

For their week seven performance, Chris and Dianne delivered a Tango to rock band KISS' hit Rock and Roll All Nite, in which they sported dark outfits and eye makeup reminiscent of the rock band before scoring 29 out of a possible 40 points from the judges.

Following the news he'd made it through to another week, Chris took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and said: "If I'm honest, I was quite down on myself in that interview clip straight after the dance that was on the results show tonight because I thought I had made a pretty big mistake. I realised later that I hadn't. I'm feeling good. Thank you for all of your support! X#Strictly."

But with all that now in the past, it's all about Chris and Dianne's next performance and it's already been revealed that on Saturday night (November 9) the pair will perform a Couple's Choice routine to Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) by John Lennon.

Writing in his latest column for the Telegraph, the 47-year-old shared the meaning behind their upcoming performance. He wrote: "This week we have our Couple’s Choice, an opportunity to bring back some of that fun and wow factor that we’ve been missing over the past couple of weeks. It is also an opportunity to do something that is a little outside the box and with a little more of a personal meaning.

"Myself and Dianne will be dancing to Instant Karma by John Lennon, a song that I believe sends out a beautifully positive message that we are all as valuable as each other and that kindness should be the most basic of our traits."

He went on: "I am here on Strictly to try to show that more can be possible than many might think. I’m even surprising myself in that regard, but for me this song fits my purpose here perfectly, to try to show that we can all shine as brightly as each other if we only allow ourselves and each other to do so. Myself and Dianne will be hoping to shine brightly on the dance floor this Saturday night, and I’m looking forward to actually being able to smile this time."
