Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood had some harsh words of criticism for Nikita Kuzmin following his routine with Dani Dyer tonight on the BBC programme.

Dani, who had to back out of Strictly last year due to injury, has been going from strength to strength in the competition, with the pair awarded a 10 last week for their American Smooth.

On Saturday night, they returned for week 8 with a sizzling Paso Doble, which was full of fire and had the entire studio audience on their feet in adulation.

When hosts Josh Widdicombe and Emma Willis turned to the judges for their feedback, Craig began by saying that the performance would have been ‘fantastic’, had Nikita not incorporated several illegal lifts into dance.

‘You’re taking the mick, darling,’ Craig said, stating that the professional dancer had included four ‘massive’ lifts in the choreography, when ‘one foot should remain on the floor at all times’.

‘Fair enough,’ Nikita said calmly in response, with several Strictly fans jumping to his and Dani’s defence on social media.

‘Is Craig serious?? I agree about illegal lifts being a rule but SO SO many routines this year have had lifts that shouldn’t have been there and the judges have said absolutely nothing. It can’t be one rule for Dani & Nikita and another for the other couples,’ Siobhan wrote on X.

Others agreed that while Nikita had included illegal lifts in the routine when he knew that he shouldn’t have, Dani shouldn’t have been punished with points docked from Craig’s score, given he awarded them a six, and the other three judges all gave them eights.
