Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell can't stop crying on show
by John Bett, Katy Hallam · DevonLiveStrictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell was supported by host Claudia Winkleman after being unable to stop crying during the live show. The professional dancer couldn't contain her emotions after her latest performance with comedian Chris McCausland in the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
The pair performed an American Smooth to Jump by Paul Anka and the dance earned them an impressive score of 37 points out of 40 - with two 10s from head judge Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke. As the scores came in, Craig and Dianne were overjoyed.
But the emotion of the moment quickly overwhelemed Dianne who burst into tears. Supporting her friend, Claudia said: "Dianne is crying...if Dianne goes we all go."
Claudia then broke away to announce it was time for the voting terms and conditions. But even after they had been read out, Dianne was still in tears.
Claudia told her: "I love you Dianne, who's still crying." Chris and Dianne had the honour to be the 100th Strictly couple to perform in the Tower Ballroom. And they certainly impressed.
Shirley told Chris he "floated across the floor" and "didn't miss a beat". She added: "You had backing dancers and you fitted in perfectly...Dianne you have magic hands."
Anton told the pair: "This was extraordinary. The style, the tailsuit, your movement was exemplary. You travel effortlessly."
Speaking after the performance, Chris said he loved dancing in the Tower Ballroom. He said: "I loved it, I loved the song. I really really enjoyed the ballroom. It feels like you've travelled back in time. It's always a huge relief for me to get though without mistakes."
Craig and Dianne were scored 37 points by the Strictly Come Dancing judges. They received eight Craig Revel Horwood, nine points from Motsi Mabuse, and 10 points from both Shirley and Anton.
