Chris McCausland and his dance partner Dianne Buswell have shared an emotional update to fans ahead of the Strictly Come Dancing final this weekend, leaving some in tears with their words. In a video shared to Instagram, Chris said: “I’ll be honest. I got a little bit emotional before. I’m quite weak at the minute. Emotionally weak. It doesn’t take much to set me off. If I was to watch Pixar’s Inside Out now, I don’t think I’d ever regain any form of competence in life.”
The duo are preparing for their final waltz, and Chris said: “We rehearsed the waltz and I realised this is going to be the last dance that we do and I imagined it all being over on Saturday and it being the last time that we dance on the show and it upset me.”

Dianne was also moved as she chimed in: “Then you told me that and then I had a tear in my eye. I was like stop, don’t do this now. Genuinely, we want to say thank you as well for making it possible that we’re even dancing in the final. I do think Chris really deserves it and I think one thing we’ve shown is that things don’t have to be perfect to be successful.
She added: “We want to say thank you and we want to say we’re going to give it our all in the final. We’re going to do what we do best and enjoy our time out there on the Strictly floor. Whether that means we get a seven from Craig, or a 10, who cares? We’ll dance like it is our last time because it is going to be.”
Chris then said: “Perfectionism is crippling. It stops you trying things. It stops you from doing things because you’re worried you can’t do it enough. A lot of kids watch this and I think it’s a nice message for them to subconsciously subliminally learn that you can be criticised for something that is a huge success and I think I’m happy with that. I’m so glad that people have liked what we’ve done and thank you for giving us this opportunity to do three little dances together.”
Many fans were moved to tears by the candid video, with one commenting: “The last waltz, and now we’re all crying!!! Enjoy guys!” while another said: “Jeeeez I’m struggling to get through this without a tear! God help us all come Saturday night! Go out there and smash that final you two!”
