Craig Revel Horwood wants old episodes of Strictly Come Dancing to be taken down (Image: BBC) Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has demanded an old episode of the show to be taken down due to disliking his appearance. Ahead of the show's 20th anniversary next month, episodes from the first series have been aired on BBC iPlayer, which features Craig and his former co-judges Arlene Phillips, Bruno Tonioli and the late Len Goodman. While a guest on Zoe Ball's BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show this week, stand-in host Scott Mills brought up that the previous episodes are currently being aired, to which he replied: "That really bothers me, I want that taken down dear! 20 years ago.
"Can you believe it? I was in a terrible cheap suit that I got from Oxfam." Craig also joked about how squashed the judges looked on the panel, while Scott said it was the poor quality of sound that stood out for him. The judge continued: "I think it was a desk for two people that four of us were crammed into.
The quality of the dancing wasn't good at all." Read More..
