Craig Revel-Horwood has been accused of being 'bitter' by Strictly Come Dancing viewers, who condemned some of his scoring on Saturday night.
Craig has been on the Strictly panel, right from the show's debut on BBC One back in the summer of 2004 and has become the judge infamous for being hard to please and being very stingy with his 10 paddle. By Saturday night, the eighth live show of the new series, Craig had yet to award a 10 and, while his colleagues reached for their 10s at numerous points during the episode, Craig's remained untouched.
And his reluctance to give at least one couple the delight of getting a perfect 40, didn't go down well with plenty of viewers at home. The one that really infuriated them was Craig failing to give Fleur East a 10 for her samba, being the only one of the judges not to give top marks. Fans of Molly Rainford also argued that she deserved a 10 for her rumba, while others thought Will Mellor deserved a full 40, after he performed a moving waltz in honour of his late father.

Homing in on what Craig said to Fleur before only giving a 9, one frustrated viewer took to Twitter to post: "If that dance doesn't get you to Blackpool, I don't know what will - Craig. Then scores a 9." Another tweeted: "How come none of the other judges (far more competent than he) see the "mistakes" he finds in order to lower the scores? "Come back,Bruno..."
A third commented: "I really don't agree with the scores Craig's giving tonight That should have been a ten," but, backing Craig, one fan tweeted: "I am OVER this constant #Strictly booing of Craig when he says anything or scores based on what actually happened. Hamza was amazing but he made obvious timing mistakes"
