Furious Strictly fans blast judge Craig Revel Horwood as he shocks crowd with bizarre comment
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have hit out at judge Craig Revel Horwood after he gave one Strictly couple some odd criticism after their performed.
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood is usually the hardest judge to please on the panel, but this week he gave an odd two word criticism to Vito Coppola and Sarah Hadland.
The pair performed their Fosse jazz inspired Couple’s Choice in the impressive Blackpool ballroom to Pad Dam by Kylie Minogue.
Yet in his comments, Craig labelled the performance as being “a bit too perfect”.
He told the pair: “It was a little bit too perfect. It lacked attitude in those still moments to bring you out of the crowd.”
His comments earned an eye roll from fellow judges with Motsi Mabuse exclaiming: “We used to celebrate too perfect!”
However it also irritated viewers at home, as one wrote on X: “It was a bit TOO perfect’ – oh shut the hell up Craig, no pleasing him. He constantly bitches about imperfections and then complains because there aren’t any. Being a twat for the sake of it.”
Another shared: “‘Too perfect”’and he still can’t find his 10 paddle. You’re not even funny Craig.”
“craig taking a point off sarah for being too perfect reminds me of when he didn’t give ashley roberts a 10 because she didn’t breathe enough in her contemporary dance,” raged another.
A fourth shared: “”A little TOO perfect“. Craig is THAT choreographer/director/producer… to be insulted is better than being ignored.”
“Not getting 40 for being ‘too perfect’ is a new low, even for craig,” vented another.
Another irked viewer added: “Sarah should have just got the first 40 but no… Craig gives a 9 because it was ‘a little too perfect.”
After the judges comments, Sarah quipped back at Craig: ““I know you did dance to Padam as well, so I hope there wasn’t any rivalry there?”
Despite Craig’s comments, other judges called it “iconic” and the pair were awarded 39 out of 40 for the performance, with Craig the only judge not awarding the pair a 10.
