Strictly’s Craig Revel Horwood blames Katya for drunken snog with Seann again as he brands them ‘brave’ for facing the music and dancing
STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has once again blamed Katya Jones for the drunken snog with Seann Walsh.
The TV star, 53, made his feelings on the scandal very clear as he appeared on Loose Women today and called them “brave” for facing the music and dancing again.
He said: “I thought they were brave to come back on the show and do their dance of shame.
“To snog someone at the Christmas party you still have to show up to work, you have to face the music and dance.”
The judge continued: “They are being paid to do the job. I would put the ball in Katya’s court; it’s the teacher snogging the student.”
It’s not the first time Craig has laid the blame on Katya, who is married to fellow dancer Neil.
But despite conceding that he was impressed they danced the Charleston to the sound of Lunchmoney Lewis’ Bills, over the weekend he vented his fury after they were saved by the public and Katie Piper was sent home.
An insider said: “Craig was vocal in the last week about his thoughts on Katya and Seann and there was no change after the show.
"He made it quite clear he felt they should have gone and that, if it hadn’t been for poorer performances, they would.

“Craig told guests how dismayed he was that the ‘Terrible Two’, as he calls them, were given another chance.”
It was their first dance since images in The Sun showed Seann kissing Katya.
The scandal saw the end of the comic’s relationship with actress girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.
And it added strain to Katya’s marriage to Neil, seen watching stony-faced after his wife’s TV dance.
They will be dancing again this weekend, but again to something not very sexy – the quickstep to Jake Bugg’s track Lightening Bolt.
