How Old Is Craig Revel Horwood

So, I was watching Strictly Come Dancing the other night, and as Craig Revel Horwood was critiquing yet another contestant's attempt at the tango, I found myself wondering, "Just how old is this guy?" I mean, he's been a judge on the show for what feels like forever, and he's always dishing out those sharp critiques with that signature twinkle in his eye. But seriously, how many candles does he blow out on his birthday cake?

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Why does it matter, Emma? It's not like his age is going to affect his judging skills." And you're right, it probably won't. But bear with me here, I'm just a curious cat, and I want to know if Craig's been around since the dinosaurs or if he's a relatively new addition to the judging panel.

After a bit of digging (read: a quick Google search), I found out that Craig Revel Horwood was born on the 4th of January, 1965. That makes him a Capricorn, in case you're into that sort of thing. But more importantly, it also makes him 57 years old. Yes, you read that right. The man is a year older than the Millennium Bridge in London!

Now, I know what you're thinking, "But Emma, he doesn't look 57!" And you're right, the man has clearly found the fountain of youth, or at least a really good skincare routine. But age is just a number, right? And Craig's been proving that for years. He's been dancing since he was a kid, started his professional career in the 80s, and has been a judge on Strictly since 2004. That's over a decade and a half of telling celebrities to "dance like you've got a wasp up your tutu."

But here's where it gets interesting. While Craig might be the oldest judge on the panel, he's also the youngest when it comes to his fellow judges. Motsi Mabuse is 41, Shirley Ballas is 62, and Anton du Beke is 56. So, Craig's actually the baby of the group. Who would've thought?

So there you have it, folks. Craig Revel Horwood is 57 years young, and he's still going strong. He's been a part of Strictly Come Dancing for almost half of his life, and he's not showing any signs of slowing down. I mean, have you seen him dance? The man's got more energy than a toddler on a sugar rush. So, here's to Craig, the oldest, youngest, and most fabulous judge on Strictly. May he continue to dish out those sharp critiques and keep us all entertained for many more years to come.
