Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton has been tipped as the ‘favourite’ to join the Strictly judging panel, bookies have said, after speculation that one current judging legend may be set to step down soon. It comes after Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood, who has been a stalwart of the judging panel since the hit BBC show’s inception in 2004, hinted that he may soon be leaving the glitter ball behind and retire from his judging seat as he approaches his 60th birthday in a few months.
