Strictly Come Dancing fans were left outraged after host Tess Daly made what many viewers deemed an “embarrassing” comment towards one of the show’s most popular contestants, Chris McCausland.

McCausland, a comedian known for his quick wit and humorous personality, has won the hearts of many viewers throughout the season with his charm and impressive dancing skills. However, during a recent episode,

Tess’s remark to him sparked controversy, leaving fans questioning the appropriateness of her words. The comment in question occurred after McCausland had delivered another strong performance

with his dance partner, Luba Mushtuk. The moment happened when Tess, who was conducting her usual interviews with the contestants after their performances, turned to Chris to congratulate him on his dance.

As McCausland playfully acknowledged his progress in the competition, Tess responded with a comment that many viewers felt crossed the line. “You’re doing so well for someone who isn’t really a dancer,”

she said with a smile. While Tess may have intended the remark to be lighthearted and encouraging, the comment was immediately met with backlash from fans who felt it was dismissive and patronizing.
