Strictly's Dianne Buswell praises Chris McCausland

Strictly Come Dancing legend Ola Jordan has expressed her views on blind comedian Chris McCausland’s impressive performance on the leaderboard, and that opera singer Wynne Evans has successfully avoided eviction once again.

Commenting on the judges' controversial choice to save Wynne over Shayne in the dance-off, she told Mecca Bingo, “It's a tricky situation.”

"We’ve got to start with the fight that everyone's got their own opinion. My opinion is still valid; everyone's opinions are valid, so it depends on who sits on that panel.

"I thought that Shayne was too low on the leaderboard; he was in the bottom two, and the judges could say, well, people didn't vote for him, which is correct, but he was still in the wrong place on the leaderboard to start with for me.

"When I look at the whole line-up, he had 30 points. He should have got more. I thought he should have had more than Chris. Chris got 33 points.”

Pro dancer Ola explained: “The leaderboard is combined with people's votes as well, so Shayne’s probably not getting that many votes, that’s why he was in the bottom two.

"But let's say Montell; she might be still getting the same votes as Shayne, but because she's higher on the leaderboard, she will not go down to the bottom two.

“Last week I said he's going to be in the bottom two because he's not getting many votes. He got Rumba, which is a tricky dance.

"You can't compare that to a Couple's Choice. With Chris and Dianne's, there was not much technique there.

"Rumba is a much more difficult dance than the Couple’s Choice.

"Pete [Wicks] and Jowita did an amazing Couple’s Choice, but he didn't have to have straight legs and hip action.

"I do think Shayne did a great job, and I wasn't a fan of his dancing in previous weeks; I was always quite critical, but in this instance, I think he was too low on the leaderboard.

"So he had no chance to not be in the bottom two because we all knew that he was in the bottom two already twice before; this was the third time.”

The mum-of-one revealed whether she thought the judges unfairly marked any contestants: “I think Shayne, probably out of everyone because I feel that he did better than the leaderboard.

"He had a difficult dance, but he did an excellent job. Chris was above him, and Sarah [Hadland] and Montell were above him. He did just as good a job as Montell - and she got 36 points.”

For the next week, she advised Chris, who was tied for sixth place on the leaderboard: “He is limited. I could see he was going wrong in the Couple’s Choice; he was going wrong quite a few times.

"This is why I think he was too high on the leaderboard. Shayne went right in his Rumba, whereas Chris was."
