However, it was a poignant moment afterwards that tugged at fans’ heartstrings.
As Chris and Dianne hugged, the show’s mics picked up him asking: “Did I do ok?”
Considering the song’s ties to Liverpool, Chris’ home city, the performance held significant meaning to the star.
One viewer wrote on social media: “You did more than ok Chris, you and Dianne created Strictly magic.”
Another remarked: “Chris doesn’t realise how amazing he is.”
A third chimed in: “Chris and Di are EVERYTHING.”
While a fourth added: “If you couldn’t love @chrismccauslandcomedy more, he then ask beautiful @diannebuswell, ‘Did I do OK?’
“Perfect reply from Dianne. From nearly everyone watching, yes Chris you did more than ok, you were amazing.”
Scouse funnyman Chris, 47, is Strictly’s first blind contestant throughout its 20-year history.
He previously told Radio Times: “I didn’t think I could do it because I literally couldn’t see what’s expected of me.

“And because I don’t watch it, I don’t have an attachment to the format.
“But I’d rather do something I had no knowledge of than make a show I knew everything about.
“I’m good at making comedy out of failure, but I’m going to take this seriously.”
The star has continually impressed Strictly viewers as the weeks have gone on.

He and Dianne received a standing ovation after they previously performed a foxtrot.
Having scored 29 points, head judge Shirley Ballas showered praise by describing him as “an example to every celebrity upstairs when it comes to footwork”.
Fellow judge Motsi Mabuse said the slow foxtrot is one of the most difficult dances but she felt he made it look “so easy”, while Anton Du Beke remarked: “you are just wonderful”.
