Strictly’s Chris McCausland THREATENS to ‘HAVE WORDS’ with BBC bosses after behind the scenes shake-up left him ‘PANICK!NG AND WITH A MIND BLANK’

Strictly Come Dancing’s Chris McCausland took a swipe at the judges and BBC show bosses after a shake-up on the show left him in a state of panic.

The comedian, 47, and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell, 35, recently appeared on Strictly’s spin-off show It Takes Two after he was the first celebrity to take to the dance floor on Halloween week.

He and Dianne opened the show with a classic Samba to the Bee Gees 1970’s disco tune Stayin’ Alive, and the pair scored 26 out of 40.

While discussing his performance Fleur East, 37, asked the star if it was ‘nerve-wracking’ being the first celebrity on the dance floor, and he certainly didn’t seem happy.

He then made a dig at show bosses and warned that he would be ‘having words’ if he had to do it again.

The comedian joked: ‘It was horrible. I didn’t like going on first and if they put me on first again, we’re gonna be having words.’

The star claimed that by being the first person to dance, he lost out on valuable rehearsal time with his partner.

Chris stated: ‘My routine went out the window.’

‘If people realize at home, before you go on, you go and have a little run through your dance in the little training space. And then you go out and do the dance.

‘When you’re on first [you] don’t get any of that. You have to just be in a queue.

‘And when you’re in a queue, you think, and the more I thought, the more I realised I don’t know this dance, I had a panic and a mind blank.’

The star also hit out at judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood who claimed his routine had ‘too much bounce’.

After his performance on Saturday evening, Shirley said: ‘Now, I never thought I would say in eight years about bounce, but you actually overcooked the bounce.’

He then made a dig towards show bosses and warned that he would be 'having words' if he had to do it again

Meanwhile, Anton said: ‘Your bounce was probably a little too much, it lacked a bit of fluidity.’

And Craig added: ‘There was a bit of hopping in that Samba which wasn’t great.’

However, Chris hit out at the judges saying he was just being ‘enthusiastic’ with his routine.

He sarcastically quipped: ‘I overcompensated with enthusiasm. And basically, you’re not allowed to be enthusiastic doing a samba.’

‘You’re not allowed to have fun. I had too much fun, and I got penalised for it.’
