The latest season of BBC’s hit show, Strictly Come Dancing, has made history with its first visually impaired contestant, Chris McCausland, stealing the spotlight and leaving fans in awe. Chris, paired with professional dancer Dianne Buswell, delivered a jaw-dropping cha-cha performance to The Beatles’ classic, “Twist and Shout,” that left judge Shirley Ballas on the verge of tears. The duo showcased complex moves, including leg twists and daring lifts that even seasoned pro Anton Du Beke admitted he would shy away from. The performance was met with a flurry of positive reactions on social media, with fans expressing their amazement at Chris’s incredible talent and agility.
