Chris McCausland has been told 'that's crazy' as he shared a career update, after his upcoming Strictly Come Dancing 'return' was confirmed.
The comedian has been very busy since finishing the hit BBC One dance show back in December, which he won alongside his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell.
They emerged victorious, having faced competition from fellow finalists Miranda actress Sarah Hadland and partner Vito Coppola, Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and dancer Aljaz Skorjanec and JLS singer JB Gill and partner Lauren Oakley to emotionally lift the Glitterball trophy.
Following the end of the show's 2024 run, the emotional new friends went their separate ways as Chris couldn't sign up to the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour due to his commitments with his own stand-up show, Yonks!
And it's his stand-up show. which he had to re-arrange to take on Strictly, that just keeps going from strength-to-strength. In a new social media post, Chris gave an update on the long-running tour.
Alongside a posted for the show, featuring a string of dates throughout the rest of 2025 and into 2026, the 47-year-old said: "TOUR UPDATE. Here’s an updated list for the Yonks Tour - lots of sold out dates with a bunch of extra ones thrown in. Full details available on my website www.chrismccausland.com."
His followers were then quick to respond. @gorgiegirl51 said: "Wow! That is crazy!!! You’ll need a year off after this!" @notlibrarymanager commented: "That is an insane tour..."
@danielle445lee replied: "You're crazy and congratulations." @gabrielle2425 posted: "Absolutely great show. Loved it." @suebeese added: "Brilliant brilliant brilliant show!!!!"
As Dianne tours the country in her own joint-headline show with Strictly pal Vito Coppola, she managed to squeeze in an a reunion with Chris as he made a surprise appearance on stage.
Dianne was heard telling the audience: "Tonight, I have the honour of having someone very, very, very special here and I'm going to go grab him now. and I think you're all going to know him very well..." before she popped to the side of stage and guided Chris out onto the stage.
He then told the audience himself: "So, I said 'no' to doing Strictly a few times because it was terrifying. I didn't really know what I was being asked to do. But doing it with this one here, the most remarkable thing I've ever done, you know."
Alongside the emotional video, Dianne wrote to her followers: "Last night was so special ! Having Chris side of stage made me very emotional. I’m so grateful for the friendship and for just everything that this wonderful man taught me.
"We speak every week on the podcast together but this was the second time we seen each other in the flesh since strictly." She then confirmed their Strictly return.
As is tradition, the previous series' winners return for a performance during the launch of the next series. Ending her post, Dianne asked: "The question is what dance do you want to see us do again for that launch show?"
