Anton Du Beke slams Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood over his recent comments about colleagues Shirley Ballas and Tess Daly saying he “should know better”
ANTON Du Beke has slammed Craig Revel Horwood over his recent “inappropriate" comments saying he “should know better”.
And he said love-cheat dance partners Seann Walsh, 32, and Katya Jones, 29, should have got a room not “proper-tongue, French kiss in public”.
Anton said: "That's Craig isn't it.
“I absolutely don't think Tess is boring. Tess is a delight.
“He does like to run his mouth, he was teasing I think but he should know better."
Shirley told The Sun she’d demanded an apology from her BBC colleague.
Craig, 53, had said: “I showed my book to the BBC and they cut one part about Shirley’s breasts.
“I don’t know if you want to hear it? What happened is that she came to the audition and literally had her thing open to her navel.
“I am not joking. Her boobs were like La BaZooKa things hanging out [some artists from French dance troupe La BaZooKa have giant inflatable breasts].
“It was not very, erm, Strictly.
“So they came in and sewed all that up. Then they had to push them down . . . and they’re fake.”
But Shirley, 58, hit back and made him say sorry.
She told the Sun: “I don’t think it’s appropriate for anyone to make comments about anyone else — be it about their body or anything they do — when working as a team.
“I’m a team player and I have the backs of my fellow people. Yes, I got an apology — a sincere apology.”

It was the latest in a string of controversies to hit the show after Katya cheated on husband Neil and Seann on girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.
Anton added: "You sort of move on from it a little bit, but it's up to them to sort it out. it's none of my business, I wasn't involved, but sometimes you'd rather stuff like that didn't happen so we could all get on with he dancing.
“The only thing is, whatever it is, whether it's Craig saying inappropriate things, or something else like that, you end up talking about that and not the dancing. It's so marvellous this year that you just want to talk about that."
