Viewers of Strictly last night (November 30) were left baffled after host Tess Daly made an “embarrassing” comment to Chris McCausland.
During Saturday night’s live show, comedian Chris and pro dancer Dianne Buswell performed a Quickstep to Anything Goes for Musicals Week. Despite a positive reaction from the audience, fans were left disappointed when their score from the judges only totalled up to 32.

However, that wasn’t the only thing they were thrown off by. When Dianne and Chris finished their dance, the pair celebrated after Dianne expressed how happy she was with Chris.
When they walked over to host Tess to receive their critique from the panel, she was heard telling Chris: “Can you see how happy she is with you?”

As many viewers and fans of Chris already know, he is completely blind due to a condition called retinitis pigmentosa.
The comment didn’t go unnoticed by viewers who were completely mystified by Tess’ strange question.
