Strictly Come Dancing has reportedly signed blind comedian Chris McCausland to compete in their 2024 season.
The signing is a first for the dance competition which previously featured deaf EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis who won the glitterball trophy alongside Giovanni Pearce in 2021.
Comedian and CBeebies actor Chris, 46, lost his sight aged 22 due to a hereditary condition, Retinitis Pigmentosa.
Show producers are said to be sure the TV personality's fun-loving personality will capture the nation's hearts — and according to the Sun , he cannot wait to embrace the challenge.
A source told the publication: 'Strictly Come Dancing bosses are delighted by the signing and think Chris will be great on the show. He has a hilarious sense of humour and an infectious personality.
'Producers are really keen to showcase disability on TV and are conscious of how important it is.'
