Strictly's Craig Revel Horwood has shared his thoughts on what the show really is about as he reacted to Fleur East finding herself in the dance-off for a second time following Strictly Come Dancing's spooktacular Halloween special. The BBC One dance contest's judge, who was praised by viewers for dressing up as Morticia Addams on Saturday night, appeared on spin-off show It Takes Two on Thursday night (November 3) to chat to host Janette Manrara about the remaining 10 couples in the competition.
And when it came to chatting about singer and radio host Fleur and her professional dance partner Vito Coppola, Craig was quick to share why he thinks the couple landed in the dreaded bottom two for a second time, reports Manchester Evening News. Despite pulling out all the stops for their energetic salsa routine to Beyonce’s Break My Soul, Fleur and Vito ended up under the dreaded red light of dance-off doom.
The pair went up against EastEnders star James Bye and his professional partner Amy Dowden, who finished in the bottom two after their Charleston to Bumble Bee by LaVern Baker. While it was James and Amy who became the fifth couple to leave the dance competition, Fleur and Vito will be hoping to avoid being in the nerve-wracking position this weekend. Speaking to Janette on BBC2's It Takes Two, Craig said: "You have to remember that it is a popularity contest as much as it is about dancing. So you do have to canvas for votes. How you do that is up to you.
