BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Chris McCausland in brutally honest two-word admission about musicals week

Strictly Come Dancing star Chris McCausland made a frank admission after making it through to the quarter finals of the competition. The remaining six couples will be dancing to numbers from musicals on next week's show.

But the comedian revealed he was thoroughly unimpressed by the prospect. Speaking to host Claudia Winkleman, he admitted he thought musicals were 'absolutely pointless'.

Claudia asked Chris: "How do you find musicals?" And in a brutally honest moment, Chris shared: "Musicals, I think they're absolutely pointless.

"Listen, if it's got kids in it like Matilda, brilliant. Puts a tear in your eye. If it's for kids like the Lion King, brilliant, you know lovely.

"If it is for adults, by adults, then grow up." Claudia responded: "Can we have a round of applause for that sentiment?"

Chris, who is blind, and his partner Dianne Buswell have made it through to the quarter finals of the dancing competition. The duo took to the stage to perform a Paso Doble to El Gato Montes by Manuel Panella for their latest performance.

Head judge Shirley Ballas was impressed with their 'telepathy' while dancing. But it was one sweet moment in the routine that caught the eye of viewers at home.

They took to social media as they spotted Dianne moving her red skirt out of the way of the floor so the blind comedian didn't slip. One wrote: "Chris McCausland & Dianne Buswell need all our votes tonight, if for nothing else other than when, whilst on the floor Dianne gathered up her skirt so Chris couldn't trip on it! Its the little things."

Strictly Come Dancing continues next weekend on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
