Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Ola Jordan reckons Craig Revel Horwood has “lost his sparkle” and the audiences deserve a new judge who will “spice” things up a little.
He’s “too nicey-nicey”, she said, and it’s time for him to go, despite once being an excellent judge.
Ola frequently comments on Strictly’s machinations. In November, she predicted – in line with the bookies – that Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu would be the next contestants to leave the competition.
Craig shocked Strictly Come Dancing audiences last week when he gave JLS singer-turned-dancer JB Gill a Hollywood Handshake. It’s the first time that had happened on the show. JB was, understandably, happy with his lot.

Strictly pro Ola Jordan says Craig Revel Horwood has ‘lost his sparkle’
“I feel like Craig’s lost his sparkle,” Ola said, speaking on behalf of Mecca Bingo.
“People loved Craig for what he was before. He would say it as it is, saying ‘he wasn’t good’, ‘that was rubbish’, but it’s almost like he’s got to say something positive now.
“He’s obviously been told they’ve got to be positive and that they don’t want any negativity in the show. That comes from producers, but they need to look at what the public wants really. It’s too nicey nicey.”
We need someone who will say the truth.
What changes does Ola think Strictly Come Dancing needs to make?
“Put a different judge on there,” she said. “Just spice it up a bit. We know what they all say. They’re all the same every year, so maybe they need a new judge – someone with a bit more spice on the panel. You could even have a different guest judge every week.”
