Chris McCausland, the beloved Strictly Come Dancing champion, has opened up about a harrowing experience from his youth when he was mugged at knifepoint by two assailants in Liverpool
In his memoir, he recounts the unsettling encounter that occurred during his teenage years, when he was approached by the thugs demanding money
Despite the threat, Chris attempted to defuse the situation with only a handful of loose change, which understandably didn't satisfy the muggers
Fortunately, a bystander intervened, causing the would-be thieves to flee with a meagre thirty quid
This incident, which he kept from his parents, reflects the resilience and wit that has characterised his journey from web developer to successful comedian.
