Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood shocks crowd with Sarah Hadland gripe

As a seasoned cinephile with decades spent observing and analyzing the art of dance on both the silver screen and the small one, I must say that Craig Revel Horwood‘s comments during Blackpool Week’s Strictly Come Dancing left me somewhat perplexed.


During Blackpool Week, Craig Revel Horwood from Strictly Come Dancing surprised both the audience and his co-judges with a specific criticism aimed at Sarah Hadland’s dance routine.

The performer showcased a Couple’s Choice routine synchronized to Kylie Minogue’s popular song “Padam Padam”. This performance received an impressive 39 points in total, with Craig Revel Horwood awarding a high ‘9’. However, prior to this praise, the judge voiced a critical comment about a significant issue that bothered him.

He added, “My one complaint is that it seemed a tad overly ideal,” which prompted some disapproval from the live audience, evident by their boos and groans.

In a playful manner, Hadland suggested that perhaps the criticism wasn’t due to a sense of competition arising from his dance to “Padam Padam” during a previous group performance in another season, and Craig quickly dismissed this idea with a chuckle.

Nevertheless, Motsi Mabuse could hardly contain her surprise at his remark: “I’ve heard it all, but ‘too perfect’ is new! We used to celebrate too perfect!”

She continued by expressing an enthusiastic evaluation of Hadland’s act, stating that he “nailed it” at Blackpool, and the head judge, Shirley Ballas, praised the intricate elements of the performance.

In response to Craig’s critique, I, as a fellow Strictly Come Dancing judge, expressed my admiration for Katya Jones’ exceptional synchronization with her backup dancers in our latest performance. I deemed it her finest dance of the season so far.

The results clearly showed this, as Hadland soared to the highest position on the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard, receiving three perfect scores of 10 and an additional 9 from the reserved judge Craig.

Behind the scenes, Claudia’s fellow actor jokingly shared his concern that he might have upset a notoriously difficult-to-impress judge panel member by coming across as impolite.
