Strictly Come Dancing stars Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell are proving to be a popular pairing, with the two impressing the judges and viewers at home each week.
Coming off the success of his salsa, for which the couple scored a very impressive 30, McCausland was very much focused on this week’s routine as he chatted about the waltz he will be performing on Saturday.
As the couple appeared on Tuesday’s It Takes Two, host Feur East revealed: “This week you will be dancing the waltz to a version of this…” before You’ll Never Walk Alone played in the studio.
She pointed out: “Chris, as a Liverpool fan, this is such a big track for you, the iconic You’ll Never Walk Alone.
“How are you going to bring your roots to this routine?”
“Everyone has a connection to the song so you don’t want it to be rubbish,” the comedian, 47, replied.

He joked: “If we can do something that Liverpool fans like, I have done it well. If we can do something that Everton and Manchester United fans like, we have worked a miracle!”
“Dianne, at the weekend you took us to Australia, this week you’ll be paying homage to Liverpool,” East noted.
The conversation followed a revisit to the couple’s latest dance, which saw them hopping like kangaroos in a tribute to the land Down Under, where Buswell is from.
“What’s the kangaroo hop equivalent for Liverpool? What can we expect?” East probed.

Turning to McCausland, Buswell admitted: “You need to tell me, I haven’t put anything Liverpool in there.”
She continued: “This song is definitely bringing your Liverpool roots, but in terms of the dance, it will be a beautiful waltz and we do have a special something…”
“It is an emotional song and it is a waltz, so it will be an emotional dance,” McCausland teased.
Elsewhere on the chat show, dancer Amy Dowden made a surprising admission about one of the judges.

Dowden and JB Gill also managed to achieve an impressive score of 30 last weekend, but the Welsh dancer had something to say about one of Craig Revel Horwood’s criticisms.
Following the steamy routine, Revel Horwood, 59, commented: “I felt like it got stuck in a few places, particularly when you put your leg behind your back.”
As the audience heckled his remarks, he continued: “There wasn’t enough connection.”
But this particular analysis has left fans and Strictly stars confused, with Dowden herself admitting she “disagreed” with Revel Horwood “for the first time”.
