Chris McCausland has made a 'diffcult' admission about his latest week of training for Strictly Come Dancing as he prepares to return to the ballroom.

The comedian is riding high heading into week ten of the BBC One dance contest. Last weekend, he received his highest score of the series, 37 out of a possible 40, alongside professional dance partner Dianne Buswell.

Following their classic American Smooth last weekend, they made it through to week ten of Strictly's 20th-anniversary series, which will take place live this Saturday night (November 23) back in Elstree Studio's after the show's jaunt to Blackpool where the last live show was broadcast live from the world-famous Tower Ballroom.

But it's not been an easy week for Chris. He admitted in his latest diary for The Telegraph: "The Paso has been difficult to get to grips with as the posture and frame is so bizarre and extreme that it took poor Dianne quite a while to get me to understand what was required of me. "I had absolutely no reference points for this dance and whereas all of the other contestants are able to watch one another and get a good idea of what might be required from future dances, Dianne has to start from absolute zero with me every Monday." He added: "This one has been a bit of a head scramble, but we will do our best to entertain.
