Craig Revel Horwood Criticized for Dance Comments

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood faced backlash from viewers after his critique of Sarah Hadland and her dance partner Vito Coppola during their performance in Blackpool. He described their dance as 'a bit too perfect', suggesting it lacked the necessary attitude despite awarding them a high score of nine out of ten, which frustrated fans who found his comments contradictory. Many viewers expressed their disbelief online, arguing that Hadland's performance deserved a perfect score, with some accusing Craig of holding back his 10 for personal reasons. Fellow judge Motsi Mabuse even rolled her eyes at Craig's remarks, highlighting a divide among the judges. In response, Hadland humorously questioned whether Craig's critique stemmed from rivalry, given his past performance to the same song. Ultimately, the couple's impressive score of 39 out of 40 was overshadowed by the controversy surrounding Craig's feedback.
