Tess Daly faces criticism for insensitive comment to Strictly contestant Chris McCausland

Tess Daly, host of Strictly Come Dancing, faced criticism after asking visually impaired contestant Chris McCausland if he could see how happy his partner, Dianne Buswell, was after their performance. Fans found the question inappropriate and expressed their outrage on social media. Viewers highlighted that Chris, who has retinitis pigmentosa, cannot see, making the comment seem insensitive. Many took to Twitter to voice their discontent, questioning how Tess could ask such a thing. Chris has previously shared his experiences with blindness, discussing the hereditary nature of his condition and his determination to adapt to it. He has expressed both fear and resolve about being the first blind contestant on the show.
