BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Chris McCausland jokes he's 'speaking to lawyers' after co-star's video

Strictly Come Dancing star Chris McCausland has joked he's 'speaking to lawyers' after dance parter Dianne Buswell delighted fans with a comical video featuring her father and husband Joe Sugg. Professional dancer Dianne is known for her engaging social media presence, where she offers glimpses into both her professional and personal life.

In a recent vlog, Dianne recreated the kind of content she had produced with her former Strictly partner, comedian Chris McCausland, this time including her dad in the fun. Dianne's parents, Rina and Mark, had been in the UK for seven weeks, during which they saw their daughter and Chris triumphantly raise the Glitterball trophy.

After her parents returned to Australia last week, Dianne posted an emotional video of farewells, hugging them tightly. Reflecting on their visit, Dianne expressed her joy: "What a 7 weeks it has been honestly moments that I had only dreamed of came to life and the best bit was that my parents were right there with me. Already looking forward to the next time we can make memories together. Love you both very much."

In her latest social media update, the Aussie dancer shared a clip where she plays a game with her dad, while Joe Sugg appears in the background. Her caption humorously assures fans: "The Christmas special of guess the flavour! Don't worry production manager @ChrisMcCauslandcomedy has given the all clear to go ahead with the episode without him! Our special guest is the one and only MARK @mark.3802", reports the Liverpool Echo.

In the game, they had to identify the scent presented to them, with KitKat being the challenge this time. Chris and Dianne have tried the game with other products in the past.

Chris humorously reacted to the video stating: "Wow. I'm speaking to my lawyers. You must've really wanted him back on that flight to keep it going that long."

Fans voiced their backing for Dianne and her family, while some reminisced about the pair's regular joint videos. One supporter commented: "I can't tell you how much I miss you and Chris doing this. Great to see your dad stepping in to do it. Brilliant."

Another followed up with "Great stand-in/role reversal....and your dad's an absolute gem....but I missed Chris all the same! " Additional comments included "Now I get why Dianne and Chris got on so well! @chrismccauslandcomedy has the same sense of humour and personality as her family back home in Australia."

and "Missed this so much, love guess the flavour of the Kit Kat. And Mark is absolutely hilarious, all we need now is a reunion with Chris."
