THE Strictly Come Dancing audience and judges were left feeling emotional after Chris McCausland's waltz.

The comedian, who previously studied at Hereford's Royal National College for the Blind, wowed fans with his performance tonight (October 19). He performed a waltz to You'll Never Walk Alone.

McCausland and his partner Dianne Buswell received an incredible score of 35 out of 40, with McCausland saying the chosen song meant a lot to him. 

You'll Never Walk Alone is the anthem of Liverpool FC, with the track being picked because of McCausland's Liverpool background.

McCausland said that as a die-hard Liverpool fan, he hoped he did the song justice, and added that if the duo did something that Manchester United fans would like, then they've "worked a miracle".
