Craig Revel Horwood

Craig Revel Horwood is best known as the acerbic yet fabulous judge who’s been keeping celebrities on their toes since the very first series of BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing. Over two decades of “fab-u-lous” critiques later, he’s still delighting (and terrifying) audiences on the show, as well as taking centre stage on the Strictly Live tour and presiding as Head Judge on Dancing with the Stars Australia. Beyond the glitterball, Craig has strutted his stuff in West End classics like Miss Saigon and Crazy for You, and more recently camped it up as Miss Hannigan in Annie, the Wicked Queen in Snow White and even the Wicked Witch of the West—because when it comes to panto villainy, darlings, who else would you call?

He’s an Olivier Award nominee, an Opera Maestro champion, and a Celebrity MasterChef winner (multi-talented, darling). Offstage, he’s penned three memoirs, a novel, and in 2024 released his debut solo album Revelations: Songs Boys Don’t Sing, which led to a nationwide tour that he’s taking back on the road in 2026. Whether it’s judging, directing, performing, or belting out a ballad, Craig does it all—with wit, drama, and just a dash of glitter.
