Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell has finally shared with Chris McCausland the dancing error he would make on the show.

The fan-favourite duo won the 2024 series of the BBC competition show, beating fellow finalists JB Gill, Sarah Hadland and Tasha Ghouri to the Glitterball Trophy.

However, despite Chris's winning dance skills, Dianne has now revealed the one mistake he would always make, which she "didn't have the heart" to tell him at the time.

During the first episode of their new podcast Winning Isn't Everything, which officially launched yesterday, the pro dancer told Chris: "Your chin would move with your feet and I didn't have the heart to tell you. I couldn't tell you because it was quite a lot."

As the pair burst into laughter, Dianne continued: "It was like your chin would move from left to right, from left to right. And I'm looking at your face thinking, 'What he's doing, his chin is doing'.

What to Read Next

"If it was a nice slow number, your chin would gently move from side to side. But if it was something like the Charleston, let me tell you, that face was going from side to side."

Chris was quick to defend his corner, joking: "God forbid any other part of the body should get involved and have a bit of fun. This is the problem with that show, isn't it?

"You've got to isolate and the rest of your body has to be stiff as a board, like you've just come out the morgue."

Winning Isn't Everything will release a new episode every Thursday, as the Strictly winners catch-up and chat about their experience on the show, their route to the final, and what they’ve been up to since.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
