Craig Revel Horwood loved shoplifting as a kid

OHMYGOSSIP — Craig Revel Horwood used to love shoplifting as a youngster.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge is best known for his ballroom talents and scathing remarks on the BBC’s Latin and ballroom show, but as a boy he used to steal from shops including Woolworths.
Appearing on Mel Giedroyc’s new Dave series ‘Unforgivable’, he said: “I met a friend who taught me how to shoplift. It was fascinating. I loved it.
“One afternoon I had my school bag full of stuff like coloured pencils, a whole range of texters [marker pens], a jumper, loads of pens, a piece of cheap jewellery – the 70s bracelets.”
However, the 57-year-old star’s luck ran out when he was caught red handed after trying to steal some condensed milk.
Craig admitted facing to face his mother made him change his ways, and he never stole again.
He added: “It was the worst day of my life and I have not stolen another thing from that moment on.
“It taught me a lesson.”
Craig recently appeared on Channel 4’s ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ Pride special alongside his friend Ben Boddard, and he had promised to be “very nice and sweet” on the show.
Speaking before the programme aired, he the acid tongued judge admitted he would “probably” have the same opinion as viewers if he was watching himself on TV.
He said: “I’d probably say, ‘Who is that nasty piece of work on the end? He’s a misery!’
“I’d have the opinion as people on Gogglebox as people have on me – I really am miserable and need to smile a bit more!
“But I am actually very nice and very sweet and people will see that when they see me watching the TV!”
Meanwhile, Craig will be returning to ‘Strictly’ later this year without longtime co-star Bruno Tonilio, who has quit the show to focus on his work in America.
He admitted things won’t be the same without Bruno, but their work together on ‘Craig and Bruno’s Great British Road Trips’ will help ease the pain.
He said: “I am gonna miss him but then I do get to spend quite a few months with him travelling around the country in a Mini so I get my yearly fill which is quite good.”
