Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychova has defended the show after Chris McCausland was put in the ‘unfair and discriminatory’ Samba-thon.
The BBC show brought back the Dance-a-thon format, where all celebrities perform the same dance simultaneously, for the first time in six years this series.
Comedian Chris, who is blind and lacks spatial awareness, was the first to be sent off the ballroom floor with his dance partner Dianne Buswell, 35, during last weekend’s Samba-thon.
Some fans felt Chris, 47, was at an unfair disadvantage and flooded social media with claims that the challenge was ‘in poor taste’.
However, Nadiya – who was voted off in week one with Olympian partner Tom Dean – suggested spatial awareness was not needed for a samba.
‘I don’t think that’s anything to do with that,’ she said at a party hosted by Chelsea Dental Clinic & The London Laundry Club.
