What Chris is doing is, of course, beyond amazing. Just amazing. But you know what gets me probably the most about him and Dianne dancing together? I LOVE how gentle and appreciative he clearly is towards her. The way he took her hand and kissed it at the end actually made me emotional. Such a lovely man. And bloody funny as well. I just love this partnership.
I have seen many bad dancers on this show, all perfectly able bodied, and Chris shows them all up! He really has one of the best technique so far! Dianne really taught him so well.
This could very well be Dianne’s season. Is Chris a Hamza or a Jordan Fisher (DWTS 25 champion), absolutely not but does it matter? No. His story, what he’s able to do, his determination, and the trust he has in Dianne has the potential to be a winning combination! He’s also very likable and extremely funny. A partner like him succeeding plays to the strength of his pro’s ability and how strong and creative they are. And so far, Dianne is killing it! And this is what’s so beautiful about Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing With The Stars, you don’t have to be the best dancer to win. You just have to have the winning combination. I’m rooting for you Chris & Dianne from all the way in California! 👏😃 👏😎 👏😃
@zahra9813 I fully agree, their combination creates magic. Dianne with her special talent and social intelligence and Chris with moving self mockery and admirable commitment. Wishing them to stay for the long run and at least until her parents arrive.
Agree completely. I've never seen it as a dance competition - it's a learning-to-dance and a teaching-to-dance competition and Chris and Dianne are doing an astonishing job at those two things.
It was a good performance & a strong duo, I just hope, as a physically disabled person, that people don’t vote for Chris cos he’s blind! He doesn’t want sympathy, he wants to be Chris, and he always does it with wit, style & beautiful candour…just don’t pity vote, please!
@@disavowalf3351 Oh no, no pity votes! Well technically, I can’t vote but I know what you mean.😄 He has natural talent and that’s why people are behind him. I can’t imagine doing what he’s doing given his situation. Impressive!😎
I recently had the experience of dealing with a family estate, it came as a surprise to learn from documents I found my mother had Bronze, Silver , and Gold Ballroom Dancing accreditation. I always knew my mother who was blind, loved to dance, my father not so much. Strictly Come Dancing Premiered after she passed, consequently she never had the pleasure of experiencing the popularity of the show. Watching Chris I am greatly aware that with a strong lead and influential partner, dancing is not only a visual experience but one to be demonstrated by awareness in emotional expression and exhilaration of dancing pleasure.
As much as i am in awe of how bloody good this man is - props to an awesome teacher Dianne!!! No pity or comedy routines but lots of hard work and i hope as much laughter. Chris I hope you are getting a love for dancing as much as the challenge
I am completely gobsmacked by what this couple are bringing to the dancefloor! Dianne is obviously a world class teacher and Chris is so determined and impressive. He has the potential to be a real Ballroom boy and I can see them making it to Blackpool and beyond ❤
That was absolutely beautiful, the rise and fall and the timing were spot on, I’d be incredibly impressed with that from a beginner even without knowing he’s doing it in the dark. I can’t even make it to the loo and back at night with my eyes closed, how on earth is he catching someone and climbing up a bench??
Close you eyes and try and walk backwards, its unbelievably difficult to do. Dianne is such a good teacher and they have a very special bond, also he trusts her to vring the best out of himself.❤❤
This could be Dianne’s year and I really hope it is! I didn’t really know what to expect from Chris, but he is incredible, not to mention hilarious as well! Go Chris!
Chris is Incredible , Dianne is Incredible She can't show him how to do the moves so has to do things in a completely different way to what's she is used too
I really hope they win 🥺 Diane is a HELL of a pro to be able to teach a blind man how to dance and Chris is a HELL of a man to be able to pull it off 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
score - *7* So impressive!!! the footwork was brilliant and it just seemed to flow all the way through, so so smooth and elegant. The timing is brilliant and body contact all really good. Okay the topline isn't strong but this was so detailed for week 2 not only for Chris but anybody doing a routine up to this standard, it was just brilliant. Always look forward to watching this couple, could it be Dianne's year 😌
I'm always curious when I see these comments - are you all professional dancers?😂 Genuine curiosity cause I enjoy the thought was people just watching strictly so much that you know all these critiques to give or you're just a dancer yourself
Just HOW??? How does he do all of it? She obviously is an amazing teacher, as proven many times before, but he can't see any of her movements in practice! He's incredible! 🤩🕺🏼🎇🌠
Im routing for chris to win,hasn't danced before, i like celebrities that haven't had experience of dancing and progress week after week Chris the underdog to win
Also, he has never seen anyone dance before, so to dance at such a level of professionalism shows a very strong character and desire to excel, both for himself and for Dianne.
Just how does she train him when he can’t see what she’s doing? She must have such patience and commitment. But, let’s not take it away from Chris either, he has worked so hard to improve the top line as well as getting the footwork right. Bravo to both of them.
Chris is doing an amazing job and Dianne's talent is on full display, not only as a dancer but as a teacher to work with Chris to figure out how to teach a visual skill to someone who is blind. Absolutely incredible.
I absolutely love this - one of my favourite dances from the show. Chris and Dianne continue to inspire us all, and I do hope they go far in the competition ❤
Chris was amazing he really is a nice person and real I really hope he will go far in the show and i hope that everyone will vote for chris every Saturday wish you all the best chris 🤞
Pretty amazing to even just be doing the fundamentals of the dance without any reference, let alone lifts, working with props etc. Chris looked really emotional after, bless him. He should be proud. I do feel a bit for him though, everyone else can watch the other performances and be part of what each other have done; they can congratulate, reassure, give advice and bond as part of that process. He only has the judges comments to go on and other people's descriptions and is a little left out of that loop.

Huge fan of Chris, one of the funniest comedians in the UK right now.
Didn't realise the bugger could also dance.
My youngest daughter loved him in a cbbc program called Me Too

I love that he choreographed that himself!!
@dilinij12 Absolutely! Feeling confident and showing his partner-teacher his potential. They are a moving pair making magic 🤍✨️
And his idea and design!

This made me cry in happy tears 😭
Just HOW???

Absolutely fabulous
I really, really hope Chris wins ❤
Im routing for chris to win,hasn't danced before, i like celebrities that haven't had experience of dancing and progress week after week
Chris the underdog to win
Me too! I think he’s great; it must be so difficult and he’s really giving it his all! 100% want them to win!

We need to keep voting these two every week,
Chris is doing an amazing job and Dianne's talent is on full display, not only as a dancer but as a teacher to work with Chris to figure out how to teach a visual skill to someone who is blind. Absolutely incredible.
Can’t believe he’s blind. This is so amazing I absolutely adore him. He’s up there for me absolute king 👑 dianne is an amazing teacher
Love this pairing!! My favourite couple on the show.

Beautiful, beautiful ! 👏
Let's get the top half as good as the bottom half Chris and you'll be on your way to the final. I'm amazed by dianne and her teaching ❤
Can we talk about the musicality, the body contact, and the fact that he kept it while actually traversing the floor?
What an absolute legend.
What an incredible pairing. Shes obviously leading him but it looks so effortless! And Chris wow what a guy! Love love love them!
Brings tears to my eyes ❤
Another stunning performance, wow. ❤❤
My god...this is Diane's year, I can feel it!!
What Chris is achieving...my god! Bravo bravo bravo!!
I hope so cos I think this will be her last year, so I really hope they win.
