*PRE-ORDER THE HILARIOUS NEW AUTOBIOGRAPHY FROM STRICTLY COME DANCING WINNER, CHRIS MCCAUSLAND*
Strictly star Chris McCausland was a successful stand-up, actor, TV presenter and panel show favourite long before he danced into the hearts of the nation with his ground-breaking performances on the BBC's biggest show.
After growing up in Liverpool and studying software engineering at Kingston University, Chris lost his sight at the age of twenty-two. Forced to rethink his career plans, he worked in sales before applying for a job as a spy at MI5.
But, following an appearance at an open mic night in 2003, he turned his hand to stand-up. National Security's loss was comedy's gain.
And he promises that his book 'will be really funny'.

Chris McCausland is a human from Liverpool who lives in the leafy suburbs of South West London.
He was born in 1977, just three weeks after Liverpool's first European Cup triumph and was incredibly disappointed to have missed the occasion.
He loves pizza, but never actually tried one until he was twenty years old.
His degree is in software engineering, which is nothing like normal engineering.
He is a fan of both Apple and apples, and often enjoys typing on one whilst eating the other.
He has an uncontrollable addiction to Salt & Vinegar Pringles, but is seeking help.
He is blind and lost his site gradually due to a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, which sounds sexier than it really is.
He makes a fairly decent spag bol, but then again who doesn't.
He is terrified of flying in planes, but is weirdly fine with hot air balloons.
He is a child of the 90's grunge scene, but has never been to Seattle.
He has never watched a single James Bond film and is absolutely fine with this.
His knees crack every time he crouches down and his mouth hangs open whenever he thinks too hard.
He therefore tries to do neither of these things.
He won Strictly Come Dancing in 2024
His autobiography is coming out on October 9th 2025. You can pre-order it now.
