Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood had to leave the judging panel during the final of the BBC competition on Saturday night (December 14), as Claudia Winkleman made a big announcement.The show saw Chris McCausland, JB Gill, Tasha Ghouri and Sarah Hadland perform their last routines.

JB, 38, and his professional partner Lauren Oakley started the evening with a Viennese Waltz that Craig couldn't fault, earning them four 10s from the judges.

Shortly after, Claudia called Craig over to the studio for some news about the judge, who has been part of the show since its inception in 2004.

The presenter said: "This is weird but we've been waiting years for this. I'm going to need Craig up here. Craig, can you come up?" The 59-year-old quickly left his fellow judges to join Claudia and the dancers in the studio.
