BBC Strictly's Chris McCausland 'interrupts' show for brutal dig at Craig Revel-Horwood

Chris McCausland was overheard making a 'brutal' dig at Craig Revel-Horwood during Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing, as the comedian took exception to the judge only going Pete Wicks a four.

Comedian Chris has made history on Strictly this year, by being the BBC show's first ever blind contestant and, as fans continue to be bowled over by his dancing abilities, he remains the clear favourite to win the new series. Going into the Strictly Blackpool special, Chris and pro partner Dianne Buswell were 3/5 in the betting, well ahead of nearest rivals Sarah Hadland Vito Coppola, in second on 10/3.

Saturday turned out to be a great night for Chris and Dianne, with them getting their highest score so far - 37 out of 40 - as both Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke gave a 10 for their brilliant American Smooth, which opened the show. Known for his funny quips on camera, Chris the attracted some attention later on in the live broadcast, when he made his feelings very clear on Craig's harsh score for Pete.

Pete and pro partner Jowita received a mixed bag of comments and scores from the Strictly judges for their cha cha to Right Said Fred hit I'm Too Sexy, with Craig picking apart the routine as he listed things that were wrong with. Fortunately for Pete and Jowita, the other three judges weren't as mean, with Motsi awarding a 7 and Shirley and Anton giving 8.

That left them with a total of 27, nine les than their score from last week and, while Pete appeared to take it on the chin, as Claudia Winklerman began to move on with the show, Chris very clearly shouted "Taxi for Craig!" off camera, with his co-stars quick to react to the jibe.
