The second episode of BBC One’s The Magicians aired on Saturday, 14th January, with another fantastic and dazzling show.
Presented by Darren McMullen, the second of six episodes saw magical duo Barry and Stuart paired with Strictly Come Dancing judge, Craig Revel-Horwood. Their live trick included Craig having his head chopped off in a guillotine – certainly not a trick to try at home.
Craig Revel Horwood has admitted that he recently had breast reduction surgery.
The Strictly Come Dancing judge was worried about his ever growing moobs and instead of adopting a regime of healthy eating and exercise, he decided to go under the knife and have them chopped off instead.
Craig Revel Horwood has predicted that The X Factor will be lucky to last another year, if there isn’t a major shakeup of the format very soon.
The acid tongued dance expert – who is heading to Blackpool this weekend for the final of Strictly Come Dancing – hit out at the ITV show, saying that the ratings drop this year is indicative of the public’s fatigue with the faked fights, the big characters with no talent and the regular ‘surprises’ that don’t shock anyone.
Craig thinks X Factor bosses have lost their way, no longer focusing on the talent but instead centering on what will get them the most newspaper and magazine coverage.
Craig Revel Horwood has hit out at James and Ola Jordan, who have been complaining about being dropped from this year’s Strictly Come Dancing tour.
The married couple were informed of the boss’s decision yesterday by email and were told that they would not be ‘needed’ for the nationwide tour, meaning that Ola’s partner Robbie Savage will have to dance with another female professional.
Just a week after Strictly Come Dancing presenter Bruce Forsyth hit out at the X Factor for being ‘staged’, show judge Craig Revel Horwood has gotten in on the act.
The sharp tongued dance expert has claimed that the reason so many people are tuning out of the ITV series, while his BBC show thrives, is because the X Factor is ‘over produced.’
Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Ola Jordan has admitted that she is furious with show judge Craig Revel Horwood.
On last week’s show, the sharp tongued dance expert told One Show host Alex Jones that she looked “sexless, cold and stiff” on the dancefloor.
Hotting back, Ola told The Sun’s Buzz magazine:
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has claimed that he could save the X Factor from it’s current ratings crisis….and he’d only charge £5 million.
The sharp tongued dance expert has seen his BBC show riding high in the ratings, bringing in more viewers than it’s ITV rival for the first time in four years last week.
Robbie Savage may not be the best dancer left in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing competition, but he may well be the sexiest!
The football star took to the dancefloor on Saturday night’s show and left the nation’s pulses racing with his constant thrusting and groin grabbing.
He was dancing to Michael Jackson’s BAD for the Halloween themed show and no, his routine wasn’t very energetic.
Craig Revel-Horwood has claimed that Strictly Come Dancing will have an ‘advantage’ this year, as Simon Cowell’s departure from The X Factor may hurt their ratings.
The two reality TV shows go head to head on Saturday night’s each autumn, but Strictly traditionally under-performs in the ratings battle, as it loses out to X Factor’s sensationalism and spin.
However, nasty judge Craig thinks things may be different in 2011, as the entire panel lineup has changed on the ITV show, which may help his series to gain a foothold and win over some previously uninterested viewers.
He said:
“Simon leaving ‘The X Factor’ will put a dampener on it. Who’s going to replace him? It will potentially give us an advantage.”
Craig Revel Horwood has admitted that he’s not looking forward to working with Edwina Currie on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The acid tongued judge of the BBC reality TV series has previously predicted that the former Conservative minister – best known for her salmonella scandal and her affair with John Major – will become a bit of an Anne Widdecombe figure and after the new contestants’ first rehearsals in London yesterday, he told The Sun:
