We'd imagine this is going to make tonight's show a bit awkward.

Craig Revel Horwood has reportedly ripped into his Strictly Come Dancing colleagues, calling them "dull" and "attention seeking". The judge is said to have made the comments during the first night of his book tour. He reportedly labelled host Tess Daly "quite dull" for her questions and called Bruno Tonioli a "proper attention-seeker" - among many comments. According to The Sun, the 53-year-old was promoting his autobiography in Oxford when he took aim at his colleagues. Craig claims that he was unable to "be myself" when critiquing the dances, adding:

"I like to joke about and do all that stuff. I might raise an eyebrow or two. "In those ten or 20 seconds where I have to answer Tess’s quite dull questions actually . . . I tend to avoid them and not answer if I’m super honest."

He also launched into a tirade about head judge Shirley, claiming that the BBC had made him cut out part of his book where he talked about meeting her for the first time. Making crude comments about her chest, he said:

"I don’t know if you want to hear it? What happened is that she came to the audition and literally had her thing open to her navel. "I am not joking. Her boobs were like La BaZooKa things hanging out. It was not very, erm, Strictly. "So they came in and sewed all that up. Then they had to push them down . . .  and they’re fake."

He went on to speak about the reaction to the kiss scandal between Seann Walsh and his dance partner, Katya Jones. Adding that he thought the pair should have "got a room", he said:

"Everyone was scared. Darcey had flared nostrils and Shirley was looking very uncomfortable. "You have got to do the dance of shame. It’s the same as the walk of shame after an office party when you’ve tried to kiss the boss or got your boobs out on the photocopier. "You still have to walk in on Monday and face the music. Do the dance of shame and you get a lot more respect from everybody."
