BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell admits 'doubts and fears' as fans make demand after Chris McCausland partnership

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Dianne Buswell has branded teaching Chris McCausland to dance her "biggest achievement". The dancer admitted she had "doubts and fears" when she was first partnered with the blind comedian on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

However, they are now among the favourites to win the competition, before they even impressed with the 'groundbreaking' couple's choice routine on Saturday night (November 9) with a moving 'blackout' moment to give sense of Chris' blindness, and she couldn't be more proud.

She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "Like Chris, I had my own doubts and fears. It was scary. I was so excited but was worried I wasn't the right person for the job.

Dancing with Chris has been difficult at times but it has been the most rewarding experience of my career and my biggest achievement."
