Strictly’s Craig Revel Horwood admits past judging comments could be seen as ‘bullying’ now

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has said that he felt his old style of judging bordered on bullying.

The Australian-born choreographer admitted that he’s softened his criticisms over the 20 years the show has aired on the BBC. If viewed through a modern lens, his acid remarks could be viewed as “cutting and bullying”, he added.

“I was really harsh 20 years ago,” he told Radio Times. “When I look back, I think: ‘Ooh, that’s cutting’. It would now be classed as bullying and I’d be cancelled.”

Horwood, who is notorious for handing out marks of just one to contestants, previously called Ann Widdecombe a “dancing hippo” and told Jeremy Vine that he danced like “a stork that had been struck by lightning”.
