Chris McCausland Focuses on One Dance at a Time Amid Janette Manrara’s Winning Questions

In a spirited appearance on the latest episode of It Takes Two, Chris McCausland, alongside his professional partner Dianne Buswell, opened up about their experiences on the popular dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing. Host Janette Manrara led the conversation, which took place on the evening of October 23, 2024, where the duo reflected on their emotional performance to You’ll Never Walk Alone from the previous Saturday night.

Janette commended Dianne for her beautiful choreography, highlighting a particularly touching moment where Chris walked solo across the floor before they came together in a spin. Dianne shared insights from their rehearsal, recalling how Chris had initial doubts about the concept. “I did tell Chris about it, and he was a little bit apprehensive at first,” she explained. “He said: ‘I’m not sure if this will work.’ But when we tried it in practice, you could see the emotion in his eyes.”

Chris responded, leaning into Dianne as he remarked on his emotional reaction, stating, “A little moisture in the eye.” Aware that Chris might get teary again, Janette tactfully shifted the focus of her next question. “We’re halfway through the competition, and the press are identifying favorites. Your name has come up, Chris. What are your thoughts on that?”

To everyone’s surprise, Chris expressed his astonishment at still being in the competition. “I really didn’t think I’d make it this far. I’m as surprised as anyone else,” he admitted. “I’m surprising myself, and it seems I’m surprising you as well,” he said, turning to Dianne and acknowledging their unexpected journey.

In true modest fashion, Chris shared a humorous quip reminiscent of a football manager’s interview, stating, “I hate to go back to the old football manager interview, but we’re taking it one game at a time.” Dianne chimed in, clarifying, “One dance at a time,” as they also teased their upcoming Halloween Week routine to Stayin’ Alive.
