Chris McCausland has shared the immense pressure he’s under after daughter Sophie performed a U-turn and told him she thinks he can take home the Glitterball Trophy at the Strictly Come Dancing finale on Saturday (December 14).
The comedian became one of the four finalists after Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal lost their place in last week’s semi-final.
Despite the winning odds favouring Chris, the days leading to the final episode of Strictly have left him feeling overwhelmed and emotional. On top of that, his 11-year-old daughter has been very specific about her dad winning the series.

Chris and his wife Patricia share Sophie, 11. The little girl is her daddy’s biggest fan, sending him adorable messages every weekend without fail.
As the blind comedian’s Strictly journey is nearing its end, he opened up about a range of emotions he’s experiencing, including the pressure to win.
It’s been exhausting, and it’s been the scariest thing I’ve ever done.
The comedian was reluctant to contest the dancing reality show at first. Even his daughter felt similarly about her dad competing.
“The fear was immense. I said no to this a few times because it was terrifying,” Chris told the press this week. But Sophie became Chris’s biggest supporter after he entered the show.
