Craig Revel Horwood, one of the judges on the popular dance competition show Strictly Come Dancing, has recently caused quite a stir with his appearance on Monday’s episode of It Takes Two. The notoriously sharp-tongued judge made a brutal swipe at one of the show’s stars, leaving many fans shocked and intrigued.
For those unfamiliar with the show, Strictly Come Dancing is a British dance competition in which celebrities are paired with professional dancers to perform various ballroom and Latin dances. The judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, and Bruno Tonioli, give their critiques and scores each week, ultimately leading to one couple being eliminated from the competition.
Known for his no-nonsense attitude and often harsh comments, Craig Revel Horwood has become a fan favorite on the show. His critiques, though sometimes brutal, are always honest and well-respected by both the contestants and viewers alike. However, his latest swipe on It Takes Two has caused quite a stir in the Strictly world.
During his appearance on the show, host Zoe Ball asked Craig for his thoughts on the remaining celebrity contestants. As usual, he did not hold back, but it was his comment about one particular star that caught the attention of many. Without naming names, Craig said, “One of the celebrities is really struggling to keep up with their professional partner. It’s like watching a hippos trying to cha-cha.”
The audience gasped, and social media was abuzz with speculation over who Craig was referring to. Some fans were shocked at Craig’s comment, while others found it humorous and in line with his usual blunt critiques. But regardless of their reactions, one thing is for sure – Craig Revel Horwood knows how to make a statement.
While some may see his comment as mean-spirited, it is essential to remember that Strictly Come Dancing is a competition, and Craig’s job as a judge is to give his honest opinion. In fact, his critiques are often seen as valuable and constructive feedback for the contestants to improve their performances each week.
Moreover, Craig’s comment highlights the high standards and expectations of the show. Strictly Come Dancing is not just about fancy costumes and flashy routines; it is a highly competitive and physically demanding competition that requires hard work and dedication from both the celebrities and their professional partners.
In a recent interview, Craig clarified his comment, stating that he was not trying to be cruel, but rather to push the celebrity in question to improve and rise to the challenge. He also added that he would never say anything on the show that he wouldn’t say to the contestants’ faces.
Despite the controversy, Craig’s brutal swipe has sparked a conversation about the standards and expectations on Strictly Come Dancing. Ultimately, it is a testament to the show’s popularity and impact on popular culture.
So, while Craig’s comment may have caused a stir, it is clear that his intentions were not malicious.

His critiques, whether harsh or not, are a vital aspect of the competition and have contributed to making Strictly Come Dancing one of the most beloved shows on television.
