Comedian Chris McCausland has become a Strictly Come Dancing fan favourite alongside his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell
Strictly Come Dancing favourite Chris McCausland has opened up about the trauma of being mocked because of his poor eyesight at school. The comedian, 47, was discussing his career to date with LBC presenter James O’Brien on his Full Disclosure podcast. At one stage in the interview, the pair discussed the impact of Chris gradually losing his eyesight at school, caused by a hereditary condition known as retinitis pigmentosa.
“But they didn’t laugh with me, they laughed at me with what I’d said, and I remember being so upset about that. I was so distraught that all these kids had laughed at me about this thing, and it’s mad.” Chris also talked to James about what it was like from his point of view to lose his eyesight over several years - from his childhood up until his early 20s.
