Anton Du Beke has described Chris McCausland’s dancing on Strictly Come Dancing as ‘the most brilliant thing I have ever seen on the show’.

The blind comedian, 47, and his professional partner Dianne Buswell have wowed BBC viewers with their incredible performances so far.

And Anton, 58, has gushed that he finds Chris’ dancing ‘extraordinary’ and ‘phenomenal’ as he continues to judge him like every other contestant.

Anton said: ‘I think we made a mention of it in week one how he can’t see but can dance like that. Now we don’t talk about it because he wants to be judged like everyone else. But I have to tell you, he can’t see and he is standing on sofas and jumping off things, perfect timing.

‘He is making it look a bit easy if I am honest. It is just so extraordinary I find it difficult to put into words, really, how gripping it is. And what a job Dianne is doing, I would have kept him in hold and gone to the side and I would have gone forward.

‘She has said ‘off you go’. Just brilliant. Really, the timing is exquisite. His sense of rhythm is phenomenal. I have to tell you I think it is the most brilliant thing I have ever seen on Strictly Come Dancing.’

It comes after Dianne revealed how she trains blind partner Chris for the live BBC show.

After week one of the competition, the pair scored 23 points and impressed viewers with their Cha Cha routine to Twist and Shout by The Beatles.

Now, Dianne has revealed how she has to ‘place Chris’ hands on her body’ to allow him to feel what he should be doing.

In the opening VT, ahead of taking to the dancefloor for the first time, she explained: ‘I can’t show him what something needs to look like.

‘I’ve found Chris places his hand on my body and feels how my arms and my legs are moving and then he instantly gets an idea of what he should be doing.’

Chris, who is blind due to retinitis pigmentosa, added: ‘She is really patient and bringing the best out of me’.

It comes after Chris left both the audience and viewers in stitches as he made a savage dig at Craig Revel Horwood.

The star has so far gone down a storm with viewers thanks to his wicked humour and hilarious one-liners – and Chris was at it again on Saturday as he took aim at Craig.

During the show, the acid-tongued judge dished out some fairly harsh criticism to the contestants while offering up some rather low scores.

And when host Claudia Winkleman turned to Chris to chat about his upcoming foxtrot, the comic took the opportunity to stand in solidarity with his fellow dancers and take a swipe at Craig’s put-downs.

Responding to Claudia’s enquiries about his dance, Chris responded: ‘First of all, by the sound of how things are going, I think Craig is blinder than I am!’

His hilarious quip left his fellow dancers and Claudia howling with laughter, with the tickled host needing a moment to compose herself as she said: ‘Give me a minute.’

Chris’ quip also earned him a round of applause from the audience as they approved of his hilarious joke at Craig’s expense.
