BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Chris McCausland halts It Takes Two and warns 'we need to have words'

Chris McCausland has halted BBC Strictly It Takes Two to take a brutal swipe at judges and show bosses. The comedian and former Channel 4 Taskmaster star was on the BBC show's spin-off and companion show on Monday night (October 28).

He was the first star to take to the dancefloor on Halloween week and hit out at judges over their feedback. Fleur East asked the star if it was "nerve wracking" opening the show and Chris warned them that he would be "having words" if he had to do it again.

"It was horrible," the comedian joked. "I didn't like going on first and if they put me on first again, we're gonna be having words." Chris stated: "My routine went out the window. If people realize at home, before you go on, you go and have a little run through your dance in the little training space. And then you go out and do the dance.

"When you're on first [You] don't get any of that. You have to just be in a queue. And when you're in a queue, you think, and the more I thought, the more I realized I don't know this dance, I had a panic and a mind blank."

"I overcompensated with enthusiasm. And basically, you're not allowed to be enthusiastic doing a samba," he said, before going on to add to Fleur on Monday: "You're not allowed to have fun. I had too much fun, and I got penalised for it."

It comes days after the comedian, 47, hit back at The Apprentice boss once again after he took to Twitter two weeks ago to share his scathing opinion of the BBC dance show and its 'gimmicks'. While Lord Sugar suggested that he wasn't talking about the show featuring a blind man, Chris hit back once again in an interview with The Times, and asked: "But what was he on about? I can't imagine.

"Some people are in a position where they should know to keep things inside their heads. We all have these thoughts from time to time, don't we, but we can just keep them to ourselves." Lord Sugar's original tweet read: "I don't know when Strictly Come dancing are going to run out of contestant gimmicks.

"I would not be surprised if they had a AI mechanical robot next year. @bbcstrictly."
