Craig Revel Horwood is to miss the show after tested positive for COVID-19

AGENCY: NOV. 16 – Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood will miss this weekend’s show after testing positive for COVID-19. It is hoped that Revel Horwood, 56, will return for the next episode, a Strictly spokeswoman said.

Celebrities Tom Fletcher and Judi Love have also both missed a show after testing positive for coronavirus. Revel Horwood is the only judge to have been part of every series of Strictly and is known for his high standards and not holding back his opinion.

A Strictly spokeswoman said: “Craig Revel Horwood has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating following the latest government guidelines. While Craig will not be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, all being well he will return the following week.”

Australian-born Revel Horwood is known for his performances and choreography in the West End but will miss this year’s Strictly musicals week.
