Craig Revel Horwood faces the wrath of Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> fans again (what\u2019s new?) after dishing out a particularly cutting critique and a painfully low score to match on Saturday night.<\/p>\n The notoriously sharp-tongued judge was left unimpressed by Helen Skelton<\/a>\u2018s Samba and, never one to hold back, let her know it when it came time for his comments, calling the routine \u201cvery rigid\u201d and adding: \u201cIt was very straight; it was very wooden; there was no bounce; it was very square; there was no hip action.<\/p>\n \u201cFantastic personality! You brought that to the floor, at least,\u201d he conceded.<\/p>\n Shirley Ballas, however, challenged her fellow judge on his criticisms, saying: \u201cI thought it was a little bit in and out. I thought, for 75 per cent, you did some good Samba.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t agree with you,\u201d she said, turning to Craig. \u201cI saw some bounce. I saw a Corta Jaca over here on a slow-quick-quick rhythm \u2013 doesn\u2019t require bounce. And I saw some other things that you did extremely well.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I thought, for a Samba, being a difficult dance, you did it well.\u201d<\/p>\n Craig gave Helen a measly five points for her Week 10 routine, in stark contrast to the marks from the rest of the judging panel, each of whom awarded her eight points.<\/p>\n We asked Strictly fans what they thought of the scores and whether they agreed with Craig\u2019s or with Motsi Mabuse, Shirley and Anton Du Beke\u2019s \u2013 and you turned out in force to make your feelings clear.<\/p>\n 86.3 per cent of fans who voted on Twitter said they disagreed with Craig\u2019s score for Helen, with just 13.7 per cent siding with him.<\/p>\n Did you agree with Craig’s score of 5 versus the other judges’ 8s for Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez? #Strictly<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Radio Times (@RadioTimes) November 26, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
