Strictly Come Dancing star Chris McCausland recently found himself in the spotlight over remarks made by Toyah Willcox during an episode of It Takes Two. On October 10, Toyah raised eyebrows with a comment implying that Chris should be eliminated from the competition if she wanted to avoid a dance-off. However, she later took to social media to express her fondness for Chris, calling him her favorite to win the show.
During the episode, It Takes Two host Janette Manrara sought to clarify what Toyah really meant. “Chris, we’ll talk about your fantastic jive shortly,” Janette began, referring to his memorable Wayne’s World-inspired performance. “But I want to clear up some confusion. On Monday’s show, Toyah mentioned you were the one to beat, but some people may have misunderstood. Everything’s good between you two, right?”
Chris responded, looking amused. “We’re all good. I actually had to be informed about the comments because I don’t watch the show. The last thing I need is more Strictly in my life. Honestly, I can’t believe I have to address this,” he said. “Toyah has been incredibly kind; she even told me after her exit that I was going to win this thing. Her intentions are genuinely lovely, even if she’s a bit off her rocker for thinking that.”
The light-hearted banter continued, with Chris joking that headlines would read: “Chris McCausland thinks Toyah Willcox is insane.” Janette, seemingly relieved by Chris’ reassurance, smoothly transitioned the conversation away from the drama. She playfully noted, “It’s nice to know you’re okay and that you don’t watch It Takes Two.” Chris, ever the good sport, replied, “Sorry, I promise I’ll start watching.”
As fans eagerly anticipate the next episode of Strictly Come Dancing, the unfolding dynamics between contestants like Chris and Toyah promise to keep viewers engaged and entertained.
