Strictly Come Dancing legend Craig Revel Horwood is known for his blunt responses to contestants as they try to back the coveted Glitter Ball. But it appears his fear of being cancelled is making him change his ways.

The 60-year-old, once stodgy judge has acknowledged that as time goes on, he has had to “mellow” his straight talk. He explained how worried about being canceled influenced his choice.

His latest comments come months after he took aim at the BBC contest’s other judges, Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Motsi Mabuse and claiming he was the reason for the show’s success. But now, Craig has claimed he is trying to make sure he always adds a positive onto any comment he makes towards celebrity contestants.

Speaking to Mail Online, Craig confessed: “Back 21 years ago I could be more direct but now what I do is be honest and upfront with the contestants about their routine like I am with anything, I am honest, and with Strictly I am honest but then I will try tag a positive onto the end of it.”

“I typically make one point where there is a negative and a positive point, just to help them grow and develop, and to give them more confidence.”

No one can really disagree with me if I’m honest, not harsh in the end, and telling the truth about the dance.

He continued, noting that he only considers himself to be susceptible to cancellation if his employment is abusive. He claimed that any comments he makes are never intended for personal gain.

And he admitted last year that he had made the decision to moderate his remarks. When he revisited previous comments, he looked back and thought, “Oh, that’s cutting.”

Orla Jordan, a former professional dancer on the program, criticized the judge for “losing his sparkle” in the comments. Craig asserts, however, that this is not the case.

After criticizing a Dancing with the Stars contestant live on air in the Aussie version of Strictly, footage has revealed how he was at the center of an awkward row. After calling Osher Gunsberg’s Tango a “right royal mess” in a recent episode, he faced backlash.

After hearing the comments, the former Bachelorette Australia host fired back: “Would you like to try going down that perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You are more than welcome to show me how to do it.”

And he responded, “That’s not my job,” in a manner typical of Craig. Craig then continued to criticize the dance, calling it “completely erratic” and accusing the TV star of “making mistakes” everywhere.

Osher, who was working with Sriani Argaet, said, “But I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot, kicking, and you’re holding their momentum against you.” After you.

Craig quickly dismissed the suggestion as something they could “some other time” do. The video then went viral after the incident. As they took to social media, viewers quickly criticized the on-air ” meltdown “.

Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez ‘confirm’ relationship with romantic kiss in the street

On Saturday, Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez kissed and gazed in each other’s eyes on the streets of California as they were enjoying a very sunny, happy day for their movies.

In the middle of the day, Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez have been popping outside for a smooch in order to promote their newly-discovered romance. The pair wore dark tops and grey joggers, which made them appear to be very in love with one another.

After Jessica, 44, and Danny, 31, shared a dinner date earlier this week, there were rumors of a romance. Additionally, it is reported that the pair had previously traveled to Cancun together.

In the California sunshine on Saturday, Jessica and Danny were spotted smiling into each other’s eyes while Jessica and Danny were locking their lips. Both of them could barely hold their hands off each other because they both wore baseball caps.

Soon after Danny received a floral arrangement, the romantic exchange appeared to have eluded the gift’s influence on his older girlfriend. Jessica beamed at the younger man, who is believed to be her first romantic partner since her divorce announcement earlier this year.

And it seems as though Jessica’s broken heart is being repaired by swapping smooches with the Top Gun: Maverick star. The couple is anticipated to start developing a serious romance there.

The relationship between Jessica and Danny has “taken a surprising turn,” according to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, which has published pictures of the pair kissing. She still wants to take things slowly, but what started out as a summer fling now seems to be taking more seriously.

“But at the end of the day Jessica has never been one to play the field. She’s excited to see where this romance is headed.” The Mirror has contacted representatives of both Jessica and Danny for comment.

Fans were shocked when Jessica revealed that, after 21 years of marriage, she had split from her husband, 46, at the beginning of the year. The couple has three children: Hayes, 7 and Honor, 17; Haven, 13; and Hayes, 7; respectively.

They revealed they were heading for divorce the following month as papers were served – and the case is believed to be ongoing. Jessica told fans she and Cash had separated in an Instagram post shared in Janaury.

She stated at the time, “I’ve been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years, both as an individual and as a partner with Cash.”

It’s now time for us to start a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals because of how much we’ve grown as a couple and as a couple in our marriage over the past 20 years.

We will always be family, she continued, “We are moving forward with love, kindness, and respect for one another.” We ask for privacy at this time because our children are still our top priority.

The Fantastic Four star’s divorce was announced by PEOPLE magazine the following month, and the couple had subsequently filed for divorce in Los Angeles County court, citing unresolvable conflicts as the result of their union’s collapse on December 27, 2024.

Less than a year later, Jessica announced that Cash and she had survived 20 years of marriage. She wrote in an online post that she was proud of them for getting this far in May 2024, referencing their anniversary. There is no definitive set of guidelines or instructions that can ever explain the steps involved in choosing to be a member of another family.

She continued, “We have always found our way back to each other and have chosen one another, through thick and thin.” I love you, please.

Coronation Street legend Helen Worth seen for first time since soap exit as ‘son’ gets married

One year after quitting her role as Gail Platt in the ITV soap after 50 years, Helen Worth was captured on camera giggling from ear to ear at Jack P Shepherd’s wedding.

Helen Worth looked incredible as she was spotted for the first time following her sad Coronation Street exit. She has been Jack P Shepherd’s soap mum for 25 years, so it goes without saying that Helen would be in attendance of his wedding.

Helen had first appeared on the ITV soap in 1974 but decided to hang up her acting boots last year. The beloved actress attended Jack’s wedding with her husband Trevor Dawson wearing a patterned blue dress.

A pair of black heels and a matching clutch bag completed the look. She also sportified her signature shoulder-length bob haircut.

Jack, who was 12 years old when Jack was 12 years old, has played the role of David for 25 years.

Last June, Corrie bosses released a statement over Helen’s decision to quit the soap. She explained: “This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world.”

She continued, “I spoke to the producers, who were very kind and understanding, about the decision I made at the beginning of the year.”

Helen continued, “I have been truly blessed to have been worked with fantastic actors, directors, and a brilliant crew, and to have been given the most incredible scripts week in week out.”

The past 50 years have flown by, and I don’t believe my departure has yet fully sunk in.

Meanwhile, Jack cut a dapper appearance in an off-white suit accompanied by a black bowtie and a pair of dark glasses. And the star was joined by a host of his castmates including Alan Halsall and Colson Smith.

While Jack has been fortunate to survive, it appears he has found a way to deal with the uncertainty. Coronation Street underwent a significant cull earlier this year.

In an interview with the Mirror at the time, he revealed: “You can’t become too settled, because that’s when they’ll let you go! You’ve always got to be prepared that you might get called upstairs and told your character has run its course. “If that happens it’s fine.”

He continued, “I’ve had the good fortune to work for the cast for 25 years, there aren’t many in the cast who have been there that long.” However, you can never rest assured that you are always right.

And it appears as though Jack is more affected by Helen Worth than he had initially believed. Helen Worth never did, he continued, adding: “. She had no idea whether or not her contract would be renewed. I once told her, “of course they will.”

Continue reading the article.

She never seemed confident, though. I’m also the same. Everyone gets nervous when my contract is due for renewal, but I do as well. That is, however, good. When the s**t hits the fan and they say, “you’re done,” it shows that you’re not too comfortable and that you’re always prepared. You can move on to the next step because you are already mentally prepared for it.

Jo Wood details heartbreaking journey following split from Ronnie Wood

Jo Wood, who was married to Ronnie Wood, and the Rolling Stone guitarist, revealed she had to learn the pieces and show she could handle things alone after breaking up with the actor.

Following their split, Jo Wood reveals her fervour to prove she wasn’t a victim.

After 24 years of marriage to one of the world’s most renowned guitarists, Jo Wood could be forgiven for wanting to hide away from the world as she struggled to navigate life on her own, following her split with Ronnie Wood.

And while it took time for her to come to terms with the new chapter of her life, Jo, 70, has now revealed that she was determined to prove she could lead a healthy and successful life without the Rolling Stone star.

She stated in a recent interview that she needed to show that she wasn’t a “victim” in light of her recent split. When Jo and Ronnie tied the knot in 1985, their engagement ring came to an end in 2009.

She stated in an interview with The Times, “I learned that I can say to myself, “I’m not a victim, I can still enjoy a good life. I completely let go when I was deeply broken-hearted. I didn’t shave anything, just my legs. I was completely miserable.

Ronnie has now re-married to Sally Humphries and the coupled wed in 2012. The pair have twin daughters together. Jo recently bumped into her ex-husband at a hotel in Barbados with Sally and their children.

However, it appears that everyone involved is as friendly as possible, with Jo even describing the situation as “putting on a comfy pair of old slippers”

Jo Wood has since launched her own organic body care line, Jo Wood Organics, and has since achieved great success since breaking up with Ronnie.

However, she countered by writing her book that Ronnie’s story was “not about Ronnie,” and that the editor at the time wanted more emotion.

Jo instead stated that she has worked hard to forgive the rock star because it “sets you free.”

Leah and Tyrone, Ronnie and Jo have two children, are they? Additionally, the couple had two stepchildren from previous relationships. Jo and Ronnie both had sons named Jesse and Jamie from their first marriages, and Jo is the mother of Jamie and designer Peter Greene.

Despite their public split, Jo said that she could happily call Ronnie if she had to but claims that she could do the same with Keith Richards, as she “didn’t do anything wrong.”

She stated to the Daily Mail, “When you have children and grandchildren, I think it’s important… I like to know that I can say, “The kids have been, you know, even though they’re grown up.” Talk to them, please!

The businesswoman no longer practices a party lifestyle and now resides in her rural home to enjoy a self-sufficient lifestyle. She is even planning to introduce a supplement called Longevity for additional health advantages.

Although Jo’s partying style is still present, her grandchildren still refer to her as the “Gangster Gran.” Jo adheres to the moral compass, which explains why she pleaded guilty to drug use in her youth and admitted it to her grandchildren.

She stated in an interview on Good Housekeeping UK’s podcast, My Life in a Biscuit Tin, that she had been driving with their two grandchildren, Maggie and Kobe, while they were laughing.

They then said, “Gran, have you used any drugs?” I responded, “Of course, but I don’t suggest it.” Because it only caused me to have a lot of sleepless nights, I said.

They will discover that you can’t be dishonest. I tried to warn them that it was a waste of time, but I was in a very special circumstance. Then they said, “We’re going to call you Gangster Gran from now on.”
