Craig Revel Horwood on Strictly Come Dancing… and panto!
Craig Revel Horwood revels in the role of the bad guy. Whether he’s being the picky judge on Strictly Come Dancing or playing the Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, it seems that he’s always being booed! But Churchill’s agent Marty Hoffman spoke to him earlier this week and reported that he is a “swell guy”…
Marty: So who’s going to win Strictly?
Craig: I have no idea. That’s going to be entirely up to the audience but I think Ali and Ricky are front runners. People seem to love Chris too so I think he has got an equal chance to be honest.
There are always plenty of those voted off who should have stayed to the final because the public generally all decide for themselves who they like. No matter what the judges seem to say the public usually get their way.
There have been people that I really loved every series that go off but there is nothing you can do about that. Martina Hingis for instance was the first out although she was a really lovely dancer. But it’s equally about popularity as how good dancers they are.
Marty: Who do you think’s been the best dancer in all the Strictly series?
Craig: Alesha [Dixon] was a fantastic, brilliant dancer. Jill Halfpenny was also amazing and someone who really came from nowhere was Mark Ramprakash. I thought he was incredible.
Marty: How do you think Alesha’s done as a judge on the show?
Craig: She has well and truly settled into her new role. She was in th eline of fire a bit last weekend and she handled it really, really well. I thought her comments and critiques were very good.
Marty: And you’re in Snow White in Llandudno this year! Is there anyone you’ve been looking forward to working with? No pressure…
Craig: I’m working with Churchill who is my pet. He doesn’t require much feeding and doesn’t bark back, which I like! I also like working with children.
