'Strictly' Craig Revel Horwood: 'Edwina Currie like granny at wedding'

Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood has taken a swipe at Edwina Currie, following her disappointing cha cha cha performance at the weekend.

Currie and Vincent Simone failed to impress the judges with their Latin routine on Saturday, only scoring 17 points.

Horwood hasn't held back on his criticism of the ex-Conservative MP, describing her dancing as like "a granny at a wedding".

"I think the producers were wise to cut out my comments [on Saturday]. She was writhing around to no sort of effect. It was all a bit granny at a wedding," he told Zoe Ball on It Takes Two.

"She has some movement, but it's all landing in the wrong places at the moment. I do hope she improves. I hope it's less spanking and more dancing."

He also blasted Nancy Dell'Olio's debut dance, which involved her and Anton Du Beke tripping over a feather boa.

"I would have wrapped it around her neck and strangled her with it," he joked. "Don't use props and don't ever think about a boa ever again. It was a disaster.

"I would suggest that they do very simple choreography and some simple steps."

Horwood was more complimentary about Russell Grant, who he described as performing like a "camp drag queen".

"He does have some inner body soul movement. So it's a great start. I'd just like to see some more basic moves and less of the disco," said the reality TV judge.
