Posted on January 14, 2019 by



Chris Fonseca, who became deaf after catching meningitis at 23 months old, impressed Dance Captains Cheryl, Matthew Morrison and Oti Mabuse on the BBC’s new talent show The Greatest Dancer.

The dancer’s routine went on to receive the backing of 75 per cent of the audience – the target needed to take him through to the next stage of the competition.

The full show is now available to watch with subtitles on BBC iPlayer.
