Chris McCausland To Be Strictly’s First Blind Contestant
August 7, 2024
Chris McClausland was the first celeb to be confirmed for this year’s series, which also made him the show’s first blind contestant.
The comedian is a regular face on flagship comedy shows such as Have I Got News for You and QI.
Speaking to ITV’s This Morning on Monday, he said his participation in Strictly was the “worst kept secret” in showbusiness following weeks of newspaper reports.
The national disability charity, Sense, welcomed news that he was joining the show, calling it a “pivotal moment” for disability representation.
“I don’t dance, I haven’t danced, I can’t dance, I can’t see the dancing I will have to do. What can possibly go wrong?,” joked McCausland, who lost his sight in his 20s.
