Chris Ramsey wins over Strictly fans with his tortured expressions on results shows

Every Sunday night on the Strictly Come Dancing Results show competitiors line up in the spotlight to await the results of the viewers' poll and find out whether they've made it to the next week.

Never mind the transformation from non-dancer to Fred Astaire wannabe, South Shields comedian Chris Ramsey and his partner Karen Hauer are gaining a new fan following simply from the results show.

As Karen stands, composed, and their fellow competitors look at their feet or gaze on, Chris Ramsey's face goes through a thousand expressions.

BBC Strictly started things off by tweeting a clip of his facial expressions, saying: "Chris Ramsey is all of us during the Strictly results."

Siobhan #LovetheLances replied: "His face is so funny during the results lol. Love him to bits."

Leanne Everest added: "We really need @IAmChrisRamsey  to be made safe as close to the end as possible, his facial expressions are making me laugh so much. What a guy!"

Jennifer Clements replied: "Absolutely hilarious!" and Chelsea Palmer said: "I am crying laughing watching."

Joanne Price tweeted: "I thought he danced beautifully this weekend. Glad he’s still on the show."

Viewer Gemma said: "Highlight of results show is definitely watching the many faces of @IAmChrisRamsey." And @ZoeMayD said: "This is the main amusement of the night, what face is coming next?! "

Nicola Jones asked for an episode just of his facial expressions. and Vicki 'Tor' Garcia tweeted: "My new TV highlight of the week are the facial expressions of @IAmChrisRamsey."

And Foxy78 aaded: "Worth watching the show just for this!"

Ineke_D tweeted: "That is genuine terror, right there! with many more saying how much they loved his daft expressions. Kathleen McEvoy added: "@karen_hauer's face all cool calm and collected, juxtaposed with @IAmChrisRamsey's face which is a living, breathing comedy routine all by itself."

Amber Gill left speechless after being called 'harshest judge'

The couple performed an American Smooth routine inspired by the movie Top Hat. Footballer David James and professional partner Nadiya Bychkova faced the dance-off a second time, alongside TV presenter Anneka Rice and partner Kevin Clifton.

Kevin won the competition last year but became the second couple to leave on Sunday night.
