Chris McCausland, the first blind contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, initially feared he couldn't perform due to his disability but chose to embrace the opportunity to represent others.
As a comedian, McCausland acknowledged that being a part of the show meant a lot more than just dancing; it was about representation and proving possibilities for others with disabilities.
Despite his initial fears and lack of experience, McCausland realized that the chance to be the show's first blind contestant came with both privilege and pressure to succeed.
He expressed that if he declined the opportunity again, he would miss the chance to inspire others who are blind, emphasizing the importance of representation on stage.
