STRICTLY star Chris McCausland admitted that he ‘walked out’ on Dianne Buswell during training ahead of Halloween week.
The pair will return to the dance floor later this evening to perform the Samba to Stayin Alive’ by The Bee Gees.
Chris, 47, – who is blind – and pro dancer Dianne, 35, have been working hard over the past week to make sure that they have perfected the routine.
Yesterday they took to Instagram to share their latest episode of CHRIS DIAnneRIES – where they upload of video of themselves talking about how training has gone with fans.
Dianne revealed that at one point this week they went through their dance 22 times to make sure that they got it right.
But it appears that got too much for Chris – and at one point he had to walk away to get some “space”.
Chris said in the video: “So this is what happens…
“The Samba is very energetic and I have to have a little lie down just to catch my breathe back, just to recover, and she just talks at me constantly while I’m trying to take my brain off the dancing for a minute, have a little bit of me time.
“At one point, I had to walk away from you and you said: ‘Chris, you’re going the wrong direction’.
“I said: ‘No, I need some space. I just need some distance between my face and your voice’.”
Fans found what he said absolutely hilarious.
One wrote in the comments section: “‘I need some space between my face and your voice’,” with a laughing emoji.
A second said: “Love Chris’ honesty in these videos he does with Dianne. Heartwarming and so funny.”
Another added: “A great indicator that 2 people have hit it off is when they can laugh together about the times they irritate each other.”
“Love you guys, my favourites to win, always look forward to watching you both on a Saturday x,” a fourth chimed in.
Last weekend Chris and Dianne danced the Waltz to Liverpool’s anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone.
They were awarded 35 points out of 40 by judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke.
After the dance, Chris asked Dianne if he did ok – to which she replied: “I’m so proud of you!”
The following day their close bond was revealed as they share sweet moment in some exclusive pictures.
Snapped in a corner of the Strictly studios in Elstree, Chris can be seen kissing Dianne’s hand, as they moved through some of the motions of their dance.
In another image Dianne is seen helping Chris tie the laces of his shoes, clearly capturing their true and genuine friendship.
The comedian lost his sight at 22 due to a hereditary condition called retinitis pigmentosa.
