Chris McCausland admits why he won’t be joining Strictly Live Tour
Chris McCausland has revealed the real reason why he won’t be going on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour.
Over the weekend, the comedian made history after he became the first blind person to be crowned the winner of Strictly Come Dancing.
Chris and his dance partner Dianne Buswell got to bring home the Glitterball trophy after an impressive Showdance and emotional Waltz.
After the Strictly final, the full line-up for the Strictly Live Tour was announced, but Chris was not on the list.
Taking to X, formally known as Twitter, McCausland opened up about why he won’t be taking part in the tour, which begins in January 2025, after a fan asked if he’d be joining.
Chris explained, “I'm afraid I will not be able to do the Strictly tour. My own tour was meant to be on the road in September and a lot of dates were moved to Jan and Feb to accommodate doing #Strictly”.
“It's unfortunate as it's been so much fun, but my own dates can't be moved for a second time”.
