Strictly-Come-Dancing-Craig-Revel-Horwood-BBC
The Big Picture Strictly Come Dancing judge, Craig Revel Horwood has responded to the recent controversy the show received. It was reported that two of the dancers left the show due to misconduct claims, which led to the BBC promising changes to be made. In an interview with BBC Radio, Horwood spoke about the incident, saying that he was "shocked" and was unaware until he heard it on the news.
"For me, it’s a shock and news to me. The judges are never present at any of the teaching, and we literally come in on a Saturday and judge what we see before us. We're kept very, very separate to the rest of the company, so for us, it's complete news. Every day, I read about something and I think that can't be right. So, I'll wait and see what happens with the investigations.
Before he became a judge, Horwood was a dancer, choreographer, theater director, and former drag queen in the UK. He performed in a handful of West End shows, and will star in the UK Tour of The Wizard of Oz as the Wicked Witch of the West. Horwood has been a judge for Strictly Come Dancing since the show began in 2004, and since then has appeared in the show's Australian and New Zealand version, called Dancing with the Stars.
