Strictly sensation Chris McCausland is reportedly in the midst of securing a significant contract with the BBC following his resounding success on the dance floor.

After clinching the Glitterball trophy with partner Dianne Buswell, the broadcaster is believed to be eager to keep the comedian within its ranks.Breaking barriers as the show's inaugural blind participant, Chris impressed not just the audience and judges but also his peers and professional dancers, deftly avoiding any appearances in the dance-off across the series.

An insider from the television industry notes that Chris's time on Strictly highlighted his "a traditional sense of humour that can connect with the ordinary viewers at home", pinpointing an attribute seemingly absent from current BBC comedy offerings.Should these whispers materialise into reality, Chris may become instrumental to revitalising the BBC's comedic landscape.

The source divulged to The Sun: "What he did by keeping everyone in fits during the course of Strictly was show that he wasn't just funny, but proved he had a traditional sense of humour that can connect with the ordinary viewers at home."They added: "That's something which critics have said is lacking from many comedy series on the Beeb, and Chris could breathe new life into a genre which was once a mainstay for the corporation."Furthermore, it has been hinted that future projects might also involve Chris teaming up once more with dance professional Dianne, invigorating the magic that resonated so well with viewers due to their extraordinary rapport.
