CHRIS McCausland's explosive cha cha cha was a hit on Strictly but the blind comic said preparing to start the routine was like the toilet bomb scene in Lethal Weapon 2.

In the film, Mel Gibson's police officer character helps save his partner by throwing him from a booby-trapped toilet seat on the count of three.

Chris, 47, joked that he and his dance partner Dianne Buswell went through the same sort of tension before every dance. He said: "I have to have a little breather, and start in my own time.

"Every time we start, it's like that scene in Lethal Weapon where they're in the bathroom and there's a bomb, 'Do we go on the three or the one?" Chris admitted he felt "relief" to complete his dance, possibly because they got through it without Dianne, 35, accidentally kicking him in the face, which she had done in rehearsals.

He said they had worked out a checklist of preparations to go through before the start of every routine.

Chris said: "We have to do that thing like they do on the planes. They don't just take off, they have a little checklist.

They cross-check the doors, make sure the seats are upright, the blinds are up.
