Tess Daly brought Strictly Come Dancing to a brief pause on Saturday night to allow Dianne Buswell's father to deliver a heartfelt message to his daughter.The presenter started: "Now, since week three, Chris and Dianne have had one goal - to dance live in front of Dianne's parents."Mark and Rina, here they are all the way from Australia, it is so lovely to see you.

On behalf of all of us, the warmest welcome to you."I mean we all feel like family at this point, we really do. I know you have waited seven years for this to see Dianne live.""Would you mind doing the honours, Mark, here you go," she added.Dianne's father then announced: "Dancing the Paso Doble, here is Chris and our Dianne," reports the Mirror.Following Dianne and Chris McCausland's performance, Mark was visibly emotional.As Tess went to converse with Chris and Dianne, she noted: "Mark is crying, don't make me cry, Mark."Turning to the judges for their feedback, Craig Revel Horwood described their performance as "wonderful" but said it "lacked the Spanish fare of this dance."He commented: "I could see you going for it, however, knees were a little bit too high and you need a straight leg, but wow, strength of character there, that was a really solid performance."Motsi Mabuse told them: "I think this is what Strictly is about, it is such a beautiful gesture doing this for Dianne and this moment and you are sharing this together and it's absolutely beautiful."However, the judge pointed out that "in some places it was wrong" to which Shirley Ballas interjected and asked "Where?"The head judge commented she was "very impressed" with Dianne's routine and "there wasn't a step out of place".When it came to the scores, Chris and Dianne received a total of 33 points
