Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has confirmed he will return to the show in 2024, dismissing rumours of his departure. The TV star broke down in tears during the series final, sparking speculation he was quitting the BBC ballroom show.
However, speaking on ITV's This Morning on Friday, Horwood reassured fans: 'Yes you are! I’m definitely coming back. Don’t believe any of those vicious rumours, no.' He was promoting his upcoming pantomime stint, Cinderella in Wimbledon, at the time.
While confirming his Strictly future, Horwood hinted he may retire from stage performances, saying: 'I might hang up my dancing shoes just on the stage, and go towards direction, but that’s about it.'
Horwood, who turns 59 in January, previously indicated he would leave Strictly when he turns 60. In a September interview with Best, he said: 'I’ll do that when I’m 60, hang up my shoes and enjoy life. But I’m working hard while I can, especially as I love what I do.'
