Celebrity Chris McCausland comebacks Strictly Come Dancing
Someone asked Strictly’s Chris McCausland how he could read a tweet and his reply had the entire internet cheering
We’ve already written today about Alan Sugar’s bizarre comment about this year’s Strictly Come Dancing which was at best insensitive and at worst simply downright outrageous.
I don’t know when Strictly come dancing are going to run out of contestant gimmicks. I would not be surprised if they had a AI mechanical robot next year. @bbcstrictly

You can read exactly what people made of that here, but the best response went to Chris McCausland, the show’s first blind contestant and by some distance the very best thing about this year’s 20th anniversary series, both on and off the dance floor.
I am sorry my gimmick offends you oh mighty Lord. #YoureTired https://t.co/kfs737R0lp

So why are we here again? Becuause Chris’s A++ answer prompted someone to get in touch to ask how he had read Sugar’s tweet in the first place.
And McCausland knocked it out the park for the second time in a row.

There were plenty of other people around who also responded, in the unlikely event you were still wondering.
Is this a serious question? If so, I will answer seriously. I imagine Chris uses a screen reader, which will read the text from a screen aloud. Many vision-impaired people use them.
If it is a facetious question, then it really shouldn’t be asked.

Sometimes it’s better to use Google before twitter.
Saves you making yourself out to be an completely ignorant fool

Last word to the person who originally asked the question (no, not Alan Sugar).
I really hope you’re joking.

Yes. It was a bad joke.

Heavy emphasis on ‘bad’.
