🎩✨ Cheers to Chris Robshaw, our rugby star turned dancer, stepping back onto the Strictly Come Dancing stage tonight! Despite a rocky start, finishing near the bottom in the opening shows, Chris is giving it his all with a Thor-inspired rumba performance to the classic ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’. Who knew the rugby pitch could lead to the dance floor? 🕺
While Chris battles it out for a better score this week alongside the talented Nadiya Bychkova, his biggest supporter and wife, Camilla Kerslake, sadly won’t be cheering from the audience. She’s off to perform at the Super League Grand Final in Manchester, singing ‘Jerusalem’. Busy schedules, right? 🎤🎶
Camilla, a renowned classical singer, hasn’t been shy about sharing her feelings on social media regarding Chris’s dance challenges. Recently, she hit back at the varying levels of experience among contestants, agreeing with Amber Gill that it’s a bit “unfair”. But she’s still Chris’s number one fan! 💪❤️
Chris took to Instagram, pouring his heart out to fans about how much he’s loving the dance journey, admitting it’s rekindled his sense of being an athlete. He might be new to twirling on the dance floor, but he’s determined to keep improving and make it through to the next round. “I don’t want to let anyone down,” he says. 👏
Let’s rally behind Chris as he waltzes into our hearts (and maybe even dreams!). Whether he’s scoring tries or perfecting his cha-cha, we’re cheering for you, Chris! 🌟🩰
