Outspoken Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood has drawn a controversial comparison between himself and the late Beatles legend John Lennon during a candid interaction with fans. Revel Horwood expressed his reluctance to join the American show Dancing With The Stars, citing concerns about potential harm from overzealous fans, akin to Lennon’s tragic fate at the hands of Mark Chapman in 1980.
During the launch event for his new show Revelations – Songs Boys Don’t Sing at Chequer Mead Theatre in East Grinstead, the 61-year-old revealed his decision to decline an offer to join Dancing With The Stars, emphasizing his commitment to his flourishing career as a director and choreographer in the theater industry.
Acknowledging the support of BBC license fee payers for his affluent lifestyle, Revel Horwood humorously credited them for his luxurious accommodations, including his £2 million mansion in King’s Cliffe, Northamptonshire. Despite his success on Strictly, he acknowledged being typecast as the show’s villain but expressed his enjoyment of playing such roles in pantomimes.
The renowned judge also shared personal details about his relationship with fiancé Jonathan Myring and their postponed wedding plans due to the extensive renovations on their home. Additionally, he discussed future projects, including his upcoming one-man show tour and the development of a new musical production.
Looking ahead, Revel Horwood expressed eagerness for the return of Strictly in September and his involvement in the Australian Dancing with the Stars show. He also touched on his mother’s resilience in overcoming health challenges and his aspirations for future creative endeavors in the theater world.
