Strictly Come Dancing hasn't even started yet but Craig Revel Horwood is already criticising its contestants. The judge, 55, said Nicola Adams will be "punching above her weight" with whatever female dancer she's paired with, and said Bill Bailey will be "terrible" at the competition.

His comments break the BBC's rules about Strictly judges publicly discussing the show's contestants before the series has even begun.

Speaking to The Sun about Olympian Nicola, Craig said: "I think Nicola Adams will be punching above her weight, darling." But he did say that he is excited about Nicola, 37, being the first celebrity to compete in a same sex couple.
