McCausland, who is blind, performed his Salsa this week to Down Under by Men at Work, with the routine including some incredible lifts.
Shirley Ballas said the "impressive" dance left her "speechless", while Anton Du Beke said that while Chris's step was "a little bit plonky", "it's still one of the most remarkable things I've seen in my entire life".
Chris went on score 30, with Craig Revel Horwood giving six points and the other three judges awarding eight.
