Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova has defended the show's decision to let the 'sambathon' go ahead despite fans saying it was unfair on Chris McCausland
A professional dancer from Strictly Come Dancing has spoken out in defence of the show's decision to include a 'sambathon' event, following viewer complaints that it was unfair to Chris McCausland, the competition’s first visually impaired contestant.
On X, one viewer stated vigorously: "I'm sorry but the sambathon was very discriminatory against Chris, he had no perception of where the others were and he wasn't able to do half the moves the other couples were doing because he had to be connected to Dianne, very poor from Strictly." Addressing concerns about spatial awareness and potential disadvantages, Bychkova stated: "I don't think that's anything to do with that. The show would never put him at a disadvantage. He blows my mind every week."
