STRICTLY: It Takes Two fans were left open-mouthed as Craig Revel-Horwood delivered some brutal remarks about Fleur East. Judge Craig joined host Janette Manrara on the spin off show on Thursday, as he revealed the reason why popstar Fleur has ended up in the dance off for a second time.

STRICTLY star Shirley Ballas has shared a cryptic post amid speculation that she should be replaced as a judge. Last month the 62-year-old was blasted by fans who claimed that she is sexist.

STRICTLY Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has come under more fire after speculation she should be replaced. The former world championship dancer has been on the show since 2017 in the head judge's spot, taking over from long-standing leading man Len Goodman. However, amid rumours there are rows simmering among the judges, and accusations of favouritism from Shirley towards the male celebrity competitors, some are now calling for her to be replaced.

THEY dressed as members of the Addams Family on Saturday night - and it seems the Strictly judges’ relationship is just as dysfunctional. Rumours of a simmering feud between Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas were rife after spats between the trio during the live show.

But behind the scenes Craig, who started his dance career in 1982, also works as a choreographer, and has been putting the Strictly Live Tour together every year since it started in 2008.

Moving forward I would like to see a little bit more finesse, a little bit more grace but there is no disputing your power."Craig Revel Horwood added: "It was just a little bit messy for me."There's no elegance, it's got to be really smooth," but also said it was a "powerful" performance.Anton Du Beke told Fleur: "I love that on the edge energy, but you have to be ice like in the mind or it goes too far.That was on the cusp.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood demanded the audience 'shut up' as they booed him over a savage comment.

WITH two marriages behind her, Strictly’s Shirley Ballas is hoping it is third time lucky with boyfriend Danny Taylor – she just can’t get him to pop the question. The BBC1 dance show’s head judge has been dating her toyboy since 2019 and is ready to move their relationship to the next level. But Shirley, 62, says 50-year-old Danny seems reluctant to get down on one knee — despite buying a rather opulent engagement sparkler almost a year ago.
