STRICTLY Come Dancing's veteran judge Craig Revel-Horwood has called Oti Mabuse's departure "brilliant news". The pro dancer has quit the BBC hit after seven years having been showered with TV offers elsewhere.
Speaking about her departure on This Morning today Craig, 57, insisted: "This is brilliant news. "She has become a huge star in her own right and I think that is the way to treat the business." Addressing Phillip Schofield, he added: "There is only so long you can actually spend in one show as you know from musical theatre. "You just don't want to do the same role for seven years.
I think it's the best move she will ever make." Craig, a judge on Strictly Come Dancing since it started in 2004, said: "She is fantastic as a presenter and I just love her. "She's just brilliant, I will miss having the odd dance with her because of course she's the tallest pro that we have so I always have to dance with her.
Always correcting me she was." @font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:500;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-HeavyNarrow.woff2').
