Chris Ramsey heads to quarter finals with Oliver-themed dance routine for musical special

On Sunday, November 24, comedian Chris Ramsey and his professional dance partner Karen Hauer survived week 10 of the BBC One series after they amazed the judges receiving a solid score of 31 for their Paso Doble.

The South Shields comedian has come a long way since his week one Cha Cha Cha, which left audiences a little underwhelmed and unsure of his place in the competition.

Since then his focus, determination and ability have only developed and his week 10 performance left judges and viewers stunned.

We can’t wait to see what Chris will bring to Strictly Come Dancing’s musical special. Earlier in the week, he hinted at a possible Oliver-themed routine for the quarter finals.

The BBC announced on Tuesday, November 26 that he will in fact be dancing to Consider Yourself from the hit musical Oliver written by Charles Dickens.

Chris and Karen are one of the five couples left in the competition and will perform in the quarter final’s which will air at 7.10pm on Saturday, November 30.
