Strictly Come Dancing Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell performed a Viennese to Nothing Else Matters
Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell have performed both of their semi final routines on BBC Strictly Come Dancing. The dance partners have been fan favourites since the competition began in September.
They have seen off some fierce competition over the weeks and are now within touching distance of next week’s grand final where a new Glitterball winner will be announced. Professional dancer Dianne Buswell broke down in tears after the second performance of the night following on from the Charleston to When You’re Smiling by The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn.
They performed a Viennese to Nothing Else Matters by Metallica for their second and final performance of the evening. It was a blend of heavy metal and classic ballroom. After the performance she hugged Chris and said “so proud of you”.
