Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood divided viewers last night (October 2), as he took a swipe at new judge Anton Du Beke.
The pair returned to the judging panel for the show’s second week, alongside Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse.
But as Craig made a dig at Anton over his judging of Katie McGlynn, some fans weren’t impressed.

The moment came shortly after Katie and Gorka Marquez took to the dance floor.
Shirley picked up on a few mistakes, before Anton gave his verdict.
The former professional dancer went on to admit that he didn’t notice any mistakes in the routine.

“I might have been jotting something down.”
He added: “You’re a fine actress and you brought that to your performance.”

Another added: “Is Craig okay? He’s even Craigier than normal tonight! #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing.”
