Discussing his early years, he said: “When I was at school I had very limited friends, I just did not fit in at all.
“I didn’t like sport at school – in fact I hated it.
“Any kid in Australia that doesn’t like sport is a social misfit and outcast.

“That’s why I went to the dance classes, people were telling me I was good at it and it was the first thing I’d ever been good at.
“I felt like I was part of a community that understood me.”
Craig also showed off some incredible throwbacks showing him looking unrecognisable.
He’s famed for holding back on handing out the top score but last week revealed a secret signal that a 10 is incoming.
