Strictly Come Dancing star Chris McCausland left both the audience and viewers in stitches as he made a savage dig at Craig Revel Horwood.
The blind comedian, 47, 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.
And viewers at home were in agreement, with many rushing to X to share their comment, with one remarking he was the ‘best thing to happen to Strictly’.
They penned: ‘Chris McCausland is a legend please keep him in what he said about Craig been as blind as him was hilarious’
‘By the sounds of the way things are going, I think Craig is blinder than I am” GIVE CHRIS THE GLITTERBALL IMMEDIATELY’
‘Chris is so savage I love him’; ‘Chris McCausland’s comment that Craig must be as blind as him was a laugh out loud moment!’
‘Craig’s blinder than I am” WHAT A LINE from Chris’; ‘Chris just absolutely amazes me. So good and so hilarious!’
Later in the show, Chris and his dance partner Dianne Buswell took to the dancefloor to perform a foxtrot to Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy by The Tams.
The impressive dance went down a storm with the audience and they gave the comic a standing ovation for his efforts.
Following the earlier banter, Craig gave the TV star some mixed feedback for his performance, commenting: ‘your fingers bothered me, splayed like bananas on her back, smile but I love your spirit and musicality is beyond.’
An enthusiastic Motsi shared: ‘You made it look easy, smooth and controlled but maintain your frame’, while Shirley heaped praise on both Chris and his dance partner.
She said: ‘Fantastic heel pull, Dianne’s teaching is off the scale, beautiful footwork, you’re an example to the rest.’
And after Anton praised his ‘wonderful feet and timing’, the judges then scored the pair a decent 29 points out of 40.
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 6.25pm on BBC One.
