Yahoo News Strictly's Chris McCausland makes special request to judges ahead of Show Dance
Strictly Come Dancing star Chris McCausland has made a special request to the judges ahead of his Show Dance.
The comedian and his professional partner Dianne Buswell appeared on It Takes Two tonight (December 13) ahead of Saturday's grand final, where they teased what fans can expect from their showstopping routine – which will be danced to New Radicals' 1998 hit 'You Get What You Give'.
Chris explained that the dance is so "high energy" that he'll need the judges to make some accommodations for him.
"It's a lot of ballroom. It's a pick and mix of ballroom, it's high energy," he told host Janette Manrara.

"It is so high energy that they're gonna have to bring the judges to me after it. I haven't been able to get off the floor for at least two minutes every time we do it."
As well as their Show Dance, Chris and Dianne will also re-perform their Couple's Choice from Week 8, which was danced to John Lennon's 'Instant Karma (We All Shine On)'.
Their final dance will be the Waltz to Gerry and the Pacemaker's iconic Liverpool FC anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone', which originally scored an impressive 35 points.
Elsewhere in the interview, an emotional Dianne reflected on their Strictly journey, revealing that Chris has taught her about "honesty".

"Chris has taught me so much, he's taught me mostly about honesty. He's one of the most honest people I've ever met," she said.
"He wears his heart on his sleeve. He's taught me just to be myself. I think you put a lot of pressure on yourself to be this perfect dancer or this perfect person.
"Chris has just brought out of me something that not many people can, and that's just giving it your best go. Things can be beautiful without the perfectionism of things."
This year's final also features JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec, and Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola.
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.
