Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood wants to poach Sharon Osbourne from X Factor!

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has revealed that he’d love to poach former, and probably returning, judge Sharon Osbourne from X Factor!

And he added that his primary motivation for bringing Sharon to SCD would be by way of revenge for former SCD judge Alesha Dixon defecting to Simon Cowell’s camp by joining the judging panel on Britain’s Got Talent.

However, he doesn’t want Sharon to join the judging panel – he wants her to be a contestant. He also wants Prince Harry to sign up! Read more & comment »

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has never been one to mince his words – although he does love a good mince – and while talking about BBC talent quest show, The Voice, he blasted it as being the same as “any other talent show.”

He made his remarks – which probably won’t please Aunty Beeb one bit – to Richard Bacon on his Radio 5 Live show.

He said, “I really like the fact they are listening to people without having to see them.

“But as soon as they turn around in the chairs it becomes like any other talent show.” Read more & comment »

As fans of Strictly Come Dancing may know, judge Craig Revel Horwood has penned a stage show entitled Strictly Confidential, which is about, and will star, former Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, who of course competed on Strictly last year.

And during an interview with TV Times, Lisa – who’s currently starring in BBC soap Waterloo Road – revealed how flattered she’d been to learn about the show.

She said, “It’s the most flattering thing in the world… Read more & comment »

Craig Revel Horwood has said that Denise Van Outen can’t win Strictly Come Dancing tonight.

The blonde beauty is up against Kimberley Walsh, Dani Harmer and Louis Smith on the final of the BBC show this evening and in a chat with The Daily Star Mr Nasty said he isn’t expecting to see the mum of one taking the glitterball trophy in a few hours time.

Denise has been in the bottom two twice previously and has competed in two danceoffs and although Craig loves her dancing, her performing skills and her energy, he doesn’t think she can whip up enough support to triumph and said:

Craig Revel Horwood has revealed his Strictly Come Dancing favourites from this year’s series.

The normally nasty judge has been boweled over by the level of talent on the 2012 run and revealed that he has no idea who will be eliminated tomorrow night and who will go on to win next weekend.

During the final show the judges will lose their power and the public will have the final say on their favourite and while bookies think Louis Smith is destined to take the crown, Craig doesn’t think it’s that cut and dry.

Strictly Come Dancing 2012: Nicky Byrne admits Craig Revel Horwood made his partner cry!

Nicky Byrne doesn’t think Craig Revel Horwood treated him fairly over this series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The Westlife star was eliminated from the show last night and narrowly missed out on the chance to perform in this week’s semi final, after he was voted into the danceoff with Denise Van Outen.

The judges unanimously chose to save the mum of one, a fact that didn’t shock or upset Nicky at all but he thinks he could have avoided being in the danceoff on three occasions, had Craig just been a little nicer over the past few months.

Dani Harmer has insisted that she’s isn’t upset with Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood.

The actress performed a Viennese Waltz with her partner Vincent Simone on last week’s live show and while the rest of the judges loved the routine, Craig said it was lacking something and was less than complimentary about their efforts.

Harmer said that she knew he would have to criticise them at some point and didn’t take it to heart and speaking on Daybreak this morning she said:

Strictly Come Dancing 2012: Louis Smith thinks a bit of kinky stripping will win Craig Revel Horwood over!

Louis Smith doesn’t know what he has to do to win over Craig Revel Horwood but he has an idea.

The Strictly Come Dancing hopeful performed a Charleston last Saturday and though the rest of the panel raved about the routine – Bruno Tonioli and Darcey Bussell even gave him 10s – Craig was a bit lukewarm about the whole thing.

He revealed later on It Takes Two that the whole thing felt too ‘placed’ and he doesn’t think Louis is completely giving himself up to dance just yet.

Strictly Come Dancing 2012: So here is what Craig Revel Horwood doesn’t like about Louis Smith!

Craig Revel Horwood has revealed exactly why he couldn’t give Louis Smith a ten on Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing show.

The Australian star watched on straight faced at the weekend as Len Goodman and Darcey Bussell raved about the Olympic star’s Charleston and quickly bestowed his first tens of the series.
