Strictly: Moment Chris McCausland is crowned 2024 winner

Over the weekend, Strictly Come Dancing viewers were sent into overdrive as Dianne Buswell and her comedian Chris McCausland were declared winners of the 2024 grand finale.

The duo reigned supreme in the BBC One ballroom as they triumphed throughout the competition, ultimately securing the Glitterball trophy.

They outshone stiff competition from runners-up including actress Sarah Hadland with Vito Coppola, Love Island's Tasha Ghouri alongside Aljaz Skorjanec, and JLS sensation JB Gill dancing with Lauren Oakley.

Emotions soared as host Tess Daly declared them winners of Strictly's monumental 20th series. A tearful Chris described the triumph as “astonishing” while embracing Dianne in their shared shock.

Since their win, the professional dancer has kept fans updated and recently confirmed her place in the Strictly 2024 tour, dazzling audiences throughout the UK in January and February.

This announcement comes after Chris has regretfully informed fans that their dynamic duo will not grace the Strictly Live tour due to his own stand-up tour.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the comedian shared: ”I'm afraid I will not be able to do the Strictly tour.

“My own tour was meant to be on the road in September and a lot of dates were moved to Jan and Feb to accommodate doing #Strictly.

“It's unfortunate as it's been so much fun, but my own dates can't be moved for a second time,” reports the Manchester Evening News.
