Strictly star Chris McCausland has addressed why he appeared “down” during Sunday night’s results show.
Comedian Chris, 47, and his pro partner Dianne Buswell, 35, made it through Icons Week and have bagged a spot in week eight of the competition.
But after the results show on Sunday (November 3), Chris took to his X – formerly Twitter – account to explain why he “was quite down on myself”.

On Saturday night, Chris and Dianne scored 29 out of 40 for their tango to Rock and Roll All Nite by KISS.
While speaking to Claudia Winkleman about getting through, Chris said: “Relieved and just happy and made up that people have voted for us because we’ve been down the bottom of the leaderboard two weeks now and I’m trying my best.”
I was quite down on myself in that interview.
Now, Chris has explained why he might have seemed “down” in the interview. He explained on X: “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!”
