Chris McCausland's recent victory on the popular show Strictly Come Dancing has propelled him into a whole new level of fame and success. The 47-year-old comedian, who became the first blind contestant to win the Glitterball Trophy with his partner Dianne Buswell, has now become a household name in the UK and his star is only going to continue rising.
According to celebrity and PR expert Chad Teixeira, who has worked with big names like Katie Price, Chris could potentially earn up to £5,000,000 in the next few years. "This is just the beginning," Chad stated, "With the exposure from Strictly, Chris could sign deals worth millions over the next few years if he plays his cards right. He has universal appeal and now, the audience to match."
Chris' groundbreaking win as the first-ever blind contestant on Strictly has opened up numerous opportunities for him. He could potentially land a presenting job on a major TV show, which could result in an annual paycheck of £500,000. Chad predicts that the BBC will be eager to retain Chris' talents, and it's not just TV executives who will be lining up to work with him. Brands will also be rushing to collaborate with Chris, which could add up to £2,000,000 to his bank balance.
"Chris' win on Strictly has put him in a whole new league," explained Chad. "With prime-time TV opportunities, an extended comedy tour, and potential brand endorsements, he could easily be looking at an additional £1-2 million in earnings over the next year. If he lands a long-term TV deal, that number could climb even higher. Chris has everything it takes to capitalize on this moment and become one of the top-earning entertainers of the year."
Not only has Chris extended his UK comedy tour, titled "Yonks!", with over 100 new dates scheduled through April 2026, but he has also made a clever career decision by focusing on his personal tour instead of joining the strictly live tour. This ensures his relevance and success while his popularity is at its peak after his Strictly win.
It's no surprise that Chris' success has been a long time coming. He almost didn't pursue a career in showbiz, having previously worked as a web developer and in sales. He even applied to join MI5 and become a real-life James Bond, but unfortunately, his eyesight prevented him from making the final cut.
Within a year of performing, Chris was already being recognized as a rising star. He even placed third in Channel 4's So You Think You're Funny? competition. His first major on-screen role was playing Rudi the market trader in the TV classic Me Too! in the 00s.
Since then, Chris has appeared in multiple panel shows and dramas, including the 2014 Jimmy McGovern series Moving On. He has also been a contestant on the reality show Scared of the Dark, presented by Danny Dyer, and in 2023, he hosted his own travelogue series Wonders of the World I Can't See for Channel 4.
With his impressive list of TV credits and his recent Strictly win, it's likely that Chris will be inundated with offers for future TV shows and projects. Who knows, he may even become one of the top-earning entertainers of the year.
