Strictly Champion Chris McCausland’s TikTok Training Injury: Ripped Apart from Ass to Shoulder!
He’s admitted that his lengthy days in the training room took a huge toll on his body.
However, Chris McCausland, winner of Strictly Come Dancing, disclosed an unexpected injury he sustained during the show. Interestingly enough, this injury didn’t occur while rehearsing one of his dance routines, but rather when attempting to mimic a popular TikTok dance move, which left him feeling like he had been torn apart.
47-year-old comedian who is blind, together with his professional dance partner, Dianne Buswell, became history makers as they won the competition in December.
On the latest installment of The Jonathan Ross Show airing this coming Saturday, Chris opened up about the injuries he sustained during his training sessions.
He mentioned: ‘You should approach things as if you were an athlete, even though you aren’t one. It requires eight hours every day, for six days each week – it’s unyielding.’
In the initial stages, you might encounter minor injuries connected to the specific dance style you’re learning. Dancing the Jive can make you feel as if you’ve been riding a mule for a week.

When you start ballroom dancing for the first time, your knees might feel the strain since your body isn’t accustomed to it. It’s astonishing how many people don’t sustain permanent injuries during that performance.
In my expertise, I was once asked about the most challenging incident during my stint on the show. To put it in perspective, Diane attempted a move we saw on TikTok together, which unfortunately turned out to be quite a test for both of us.
I needed to upright her entire form, and the effort was so intense that it felt like it tore me from my left hip all the way up to my right shoulder.
As your trusted lifestyle guide, I am thrilled to share that this season, I had the privilege of being named the victor on Strictly Come Dancing. This title was not easily won, as the finale was the most intense in the show’s history. In an incredibly close race, I managed to edge out fellow competitors like Love Island sensation Tasha Ghouri, talented vocalist JB Gill, and versatile actress Sarah Hadland.
Referring to the time they were announced as winners, he expressed: “Oh, it was a deeply emotional moment for me, truly emotional.
Originally, Dianne and I were supposed to interlock our arms and stroll away together. However, as we joined hands, she collapsed, causing me to follow suit. We both ended up being quite fragile at that moment. It was indeed overwhelming, if you catch my drift.
Moreover, it was disclosed that Chris’s 11-year-old daughter, Sophie, broke into tears while watching the final event at home alongside her mother, Patricia.
He commented: “At home, my spouse and my child were the ones who watched it. My child became quite engrossed in it. She seemed rather anxious; I believe her apprehension may have stemmed from my own.

On the initial show, she was incredibly anxious, fearing that things might go awry, I might embarrass myself, trip, or any other mishap could occur. During our first dance move, when we separated to perform, she broke down in tears and missed the entire spectacle.
As a devoted partner, I’ve found myself in the midst of a dance-off at home with my wife. She persistently encouraged me to demonstrate some of my moves, and what struck me swiftly was my lack of patience when it comes to instructing others on the art of dancing.
Although he had achieved great success on Strictly Ballroom, the comedian declined the possibility of participating in Dancing On Ice.
OR
He was very successful with his dance performances on Strictly Ballroom, but the comedian chose not to take part in Dancing On Ice.
In our conversation, I may have given the impression that I believed Jonathan was capable of more than others thought, but in truth, that wasn’t my genuine opinion.
‘Even I’ve got a line, I would literally be in a double cast within an hour. I do not ice skate.’
Chris, who’s been traveling across the country with his fresh stand-up act since his stint on Strictly, mentioned that his experience on the BBC dance floor has attracted a brand new group of spectators to his comedic performances.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I believe I managed to convey my quirky humor amply during the show. Thus, viewers who’ve watched me exclusively on Strictly can anticipate what they’re in for if they decide to join us.
On the program, Chris welcomed Oti Mabuse, another contestant from Strictly, along with actors Brian Cox and Christina Hendricks, and the musical group Snow Patrol.
Towards the conclusion of the performance, Jonathan inquired if Oti fancied demonstrating a few carnival dances to mark her upcoming tour. To which she responded, “That sounds delightful! Shall we all participate?
Chris replies, ‘I’ll have a go,’ leading Oti to teach him some batucada dance moves.
The Jonathan Ross show returns on Saturday, February 15 at 9:35pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
