As blind Liverpudlian Comedian Chris McCausland and his Professional Dancer Dianne Buswell lifted the glitter ball trophy on Saturday Night (14 December 2024) to win Strictly come Dancing 2024 our RNIB Connect Radio Strictly Star Reviewer blind Ballroom Dancer Shaun Hayward is back with his final review of the series. 

For the grand final each couple had to dance three dances, the Judges choice, their show dance and their favourite dance of the competition.  

For Chris and Dianne the Judges chose their couples choice dance to ‘Instant Karma’ by John Lennon with that black out moment which gave them a score of 38 from the Judges. 

Then to their show dance to  ‘You Get What You Give’ by The New Radicals with again a total score of 38 from the judges.

Ending with their Favourite dance of the series which had to be their waltz to ‘You’ll Never Walk alone’’ with the Judges giving them top marks with a total score of 40, a standing ovation from the audience and a hug for Chris from Craig too.

Then Shaun and Toby chatted about how JB and Loren, Tasha and Aljaž and not forgetting Sarah and Vito had done during the grand final.
