The former Hereford student has been winning the hearts of the nation in recent weeks, as the glitzy Saturday night competition's first ever blind contestant. Chris McCausland studied at the city's Royal National College for the Blind in the 1990s, and has become a huge name in comedy, performing stand-up, starring in sitcoms, and regularly coming back to Herefordshire to play. The comedian lost his sight at the age of 22 due to a hereditary condition called retinitis pigmentosa and has been doing amazingly dancing on Strictly with his partner Diane Buswell. Matt Hutchinson reports at his old stomping ground, meet students and staff inspired by his dancing prowess. Image credit: Â鶹Éç/PA
