In a new interview with The Times, Strictly judge Revel Horwood, 59, said calls for the series to be cancelled are “ridiculous”, adding: “It’s a wonderful show that’s in 61 countries. But yes, I, like everyone else, want to know the results of the investigation.” Responding to reports that there are hours of Strictly rehearsal videos that show inappropriate behaviour, and yet the corporation’s response has been dragging out, Revel Horwood said: “This is what shocks me. But we want the results sooner rather than later.” Craig Revel Horwood on ‘Strictly' A friend of Sherlock star Amanda Abbington, who pulled out of the 2023 series after her experience training with Pernice, recently told The Mirror that the BBC didn’t reveal their findings of the internal investigation because they were due to come to light the same week former BBC News presenter Huw Edwards appeared in court over making child abuse images. Revel Horwood also dismissed former contestant Ann Widdecombe’s claims that “modern-day snowflakery” and “being a complete wimp” are the cause of all the complaints.
