Craig Revel Horwood has responded after Oti Mabuse criticised the Strictly Come Dancing judges over their scores in Saturday’s show.
Oti, who won the competition twice, called it the most frustrating episode in the show’s history. She felt several couples had been underscored and questioned why the judges were giving certain marks without properly explaining their decisions.
I can understand where she’s coming from. Contestants put in hours of work every week, so if the judges think a routine needs improvement, they should explain what needs improving rather than leave people guessing.
Dani and Nikita topped the leaderboard with 36 points, while John and Katya, alongside Cach and Maddie, were joint bottom with 26. Craig also came under criticism for his marks for Cach and Lacey Turner.
Oti made her point clear, saying, “Y’all need to tell people how to get better.”
Craig has now weighed in. Underneath a post about Oti’s comments, he wrote, “Nonsense. Complete nonsense”.
That’s a pretty blunt reply, especially when Oti was only asking the judges to explain their scores.
Before you go, I wanna know… are the Strictly judges being too harsh, or does Craig have a point about this?
