Craig Revel Horwood – who’s on The Wheel tonight (June 29) – has embarked on a new project away from Strictly and fans are pretty divided.
The dancing judge appeared on The One Show earlier this month (June 17) to show off his new career move.
It was this that sparked a reaction from viewers – who weren’t so impressed. Craig starred on the BBC programme to promote his first album! That’s right… the dancing expert has twirled from the dance floor and into the recording studio!

Craig Revel Horwood swaps Strictly for studio
It appears that Craig has a new calling. As detailed on The One Show’s social media, he could be hanging up his dancing shoes and opting for the microphone. The One Show’s official X page penned: “He’s swapping his dancing shoes for the mic! @CraigRevHorwood will be on #TheOneShow tonight to share the inspiration behind his first ever solo album.”

Craig’s musical debut will launch on October 18 and is dubbed: Revelations: Songs Boys Don’t Sing.
He told of the project: “This album holds a special place in my heart. Each track is associated with female singers, which presented a delightful challenge. I embraced this opportunity to record these songs, knowing that it might be my only chance to give them my own interpretation.
“The album is a perfect blend of drama, pathos, romance and a touch of high camp.”
Craig also explained he would be heading on tour and described how he was pleased that someone had put faith in him to produce the album, after singing in musicals his whole life. The programme then played his rendition of Shirley Bassey’s, This Is My Life.
