As we move from week 8 into week 9 of Strictly Come Dancing our RNIB Connect Radio Strictly Star Reviewer blind ballroom dancer Shaun Hayward is back reflecting and commenting on how well blind Liverpudlian comedian Chris McCausland and his Professional Dance Partner Dianne Buswell have been faring in the competition. 



Toby began by asking Shaun how he felt people watching would have reacted to the VT before Chris and Dianne’s couples choice dance to John Lennon’s ‘Instant Karma! (We All Shine On’ With some very powerful and personal messages from Chris in that VT. To then chatting about their dance and the black out moment and the incredible lifts that Chris was doing too.



Then to how some of the other couples had done on Saturday night with praise again from Toby for Sarah and Vito!



Ending as usual with Shaun and Toby discussing whether it was the right choice for Shane and Nancy to leave the competition.
