In Strictly Come Dancing’s 20-year history, judge Craig Revel Horwood has developed a reputation for being the pantomime villain of the series – giving out harsh scores and even more scathing criticism.
However, it seems that this year’s winner, comedian Chris McCausland, has been the person to finally break down the ruthless judge. During Saturday night’s final (14 December), Revel Horwood stood up and delivered an emotional speech dedicated to McCausland, and even left his chair to give the contestant a big hug.
