Strictly Come Dancing fans admitted they were "welling up" in response to Chris McCausland's latest routing on the show.

The comedian has been a fan-favourite on the 2024 series so far and has been partnered up with Dianne Buswell.

For their Week 5 routine, the pair danced the waltz to You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers.

The routine was a way for Chris to pay tribute to his home city of Liverpool.

Strictly fans get emotional at Chris McCausland Week 5 routine

The combination of the waltz and the powerful song was very effective for many Strictly fans who took to social media to praise the routine.

One fan posted to X (formerly known as Twitter): "He's my winner".

Another shared: "I don’t even know why but Chris’ dance made me a little emosh".

Meanwhile, another wrote: "aw chris and dianne makes me emotional every time".

Some fans revealed Chris and Dianne's routines always got to them, with one posting: "crying at Chris McCausland for the fifth Saturday in a row".

One person was insistent the pair would win the series, sharing: "Just give Chris and Dianne the glitterball now. No matter how well anyone else can dance, they just can not touch the incredible stuff C&D are doing. Dianne is an absolute genius."
