Craig Revel Horwood aims playful jibe at fellow Strictly judge during Len Goodman tribute

• Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood paid tribute to the late Len Goodman , stating he brought "magic" to the show and was instrumental in its survival.
• Revel Horwood, 61, made a comedic remark about current head judge Shirley Ballas , suggesting she has failed to replicate Goodman's iconic catchphrases.
• Goodman, known for his enthusiastic "seven!" and "A 10 from Len" catchphrases, died in April 2023 at the age of 78.
• Shirley Ballas, 65, who replaced Goodman as head judge in 2016, has previously spoken about the severe online trolling she receives, which almost led her to quit the programme.
• Strictly bosses have since adjusted the rules for 2025, assigning the deciding vote to a different judge each week to alleviate pressure on the head judge.
