Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has claimed he “starves” himself in order to look good on TV.
The veteran judge confessed that it’s hard to look good on TV in a new interview.
And he admitted he goes to extreme lengths to look “normal”.
What did Craig Revel Horwood say about looking ‘normal’?
According to The Sun, he told a live recording of Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time podcast that restricting your diet and getting cosmetic procedures are just part and parcel of life as a TV star.
Craig claimed: “TV puts 10 years on you and 10 pounds. We have to starve ourselves to look normal. It’s why we have Botox.”
The former dancer has been open about his struggle with body dysmorphia and anorexia in the past.
