Exclusive: Craig Revel Horwood reveals which Strictly contestants are likely to make the final

November 28, 2021 - 19:30 GMT hellomagazine.com Craig Revel Horwood has revealed his tips for who will get to this year's Strictly Come Dancing final, as well as his hopes of scoring the Christmas number one slot, in an exclusive interview with HELLO! in which he's joined by his best friend Rietta Austin.

"If I was choosing, that's who it would be," he tells us."The standard has been so high this year, though – we've never had dancing like it. And there's been no joke act – no Anne Widdicombe, or John Sergeant – it's been fair and square and tough competition."And the closer they get to the end, the more competitive they're all becoming because they can see themselves holding that Glitterball - and with that always comes offers for new shows.

Talking of his and New Zealand-born singer, songwriter and dancer Rietta Austin's bid for the number one slot with their single, It's Christmas, Merry Christmas, he says:"We were going to do it last year, but there was too much competition … I mean, no one can beat Mariah, darrrling, but Ed Sheeran and Sir Elton John? We figured that was easy!""Everything joyous about Christmas known to mankind is in there," adds Rietta, who hit upon the idea of her and Craig...

"Last year's Christmas offerings were all a bit sen-ti-men-tal. I thought, 'We don't want that'. Dancing around the Christmas tree, that's what we want, and with a bit of luck people will be playing it for years to come," Craig, who is also working on an album of duets with Rietta, due for release next year, laughs.To read the full article, pick up the latest issue of HELLO! on sale now.
