'Strictly' Craig Revel Horwood, James Jordan continue Charleston spat

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has continued his spat with pro dancer James Jordan, telling him to "get a life".
Horwood fell out with Jordan on last Saturday's live show (November 26), when he only awarded a 6 to Jordan and The One Show's Alex Jones for their Charleston.
Jordan was later shown storming out of the studio, complaining about Horwood's remarks that the couple had "taken a step back".
Jones and Jordan slipped to 29 points on the leaderboard this week. The previous week the duo had topped the scores at the Wembley Arena special, collecting a total of 35.
Defending his marking and comments on It Takes Two on Monday (November 28), Horwood said: "The competition is getting tougher and I'm getting tougher. I'm judging a lot more detail.
"The dance wasn't going to enough extreme for me. It's supposed to be bizarre and extraordinary."
Commenting on Jordan's behaviour, he added: "James... please, get a life."
Jordan hit out at the judges' remarks on Twitter, writing: "I heard on Twitter that Craig told me to 'get a life'! Harsh! Shame he seems to be taking it out on Alex who is lovely! Unprofessional!
"I didn't want to get so angry about the scores, but [Alex] means so much to me now!
"Does [Craig] have the balls to say it on Sat night? I don't think so! I'd like to see him try... I'm banter king. I'll destroy him!"
He later added on It Takes Two: "The Charleston was our little baby and I knew it was a good dance. I didn't expect it to be be higher up the leaderboard, but I know it was undermarked.
"I just think it's unfair."
