Comedians Chris McCausland and Jamie Borthwick, who are competing on Strictly Come Dancing, have a surprising connection that predates their time on the dance floor. Both actors appeared in the hit BBC comedy series 'Not Going Out' years before joining the cast of Strictly.
It seems the Strictly Come Dancing stars share more than just their fancy footwork. Comedian Chris McCausland, 47, has made quite a journey since his first appearance on the dance show, scoring an impressive 30 points last week for his Jive to Wayne's World/Bohemian Rhapsody with professional partner Dianne Buswell. This was a massive seven-point increase from week one, placing him joint fourth on the leaderboard alongside several pairs, including Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas.
Chris, known for his witty one-liners and appearances on TV panels, actually began his career in showbiz with a few acting roles. While Jamie was busy filming Not Going Out, Chris bagged the role of Rudi in the children's show Me Too. Interestingly, he also made a cameo in Not Going Out last year, playing the character Martin.
Tonight, Chris is set to heat things up with a Salsa to Down Under by Men at Work, while Jamie will be performing the same style dance to Danza Kuduro by Don Omar and Lucenzo.
