Fans of Strictly Come Dancing queued up to meet one of the show’s best-known judges during his visit to Market Harborough today.

Craig Revel Horwood, famous for his sharp-tongued critiques, was at Waterstones to sign copies of his newly released book, The Book of Panto.

Craig, who lives in Northamptonshire, has been a judge on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing since the show began in 2004.

He is known for his forthright comments, sharp wit and trademark catchphrase, “Fab-u-lous!”

His new book explores the history of pantomime, featuring interviews with performers and the creative teams behind the much-loved theatrical tradition.

He spoke to HFM’s Nick Shaw about how delighted he was to be in the town:

Craig’s visit comes after this week’s announcement that he will star as Mother Superior in a UK and Ireland tour of the musical Sister Act.
