Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood tips Kelvin Fletcher to win the final

His snake hips got everyone swooning and it looks like Kelvin Fletcher is set for victory at the Strictly Come Dancing Final this weekend according to Craig Revel Horwood.

The acid-tongued judge has thrown his support behind the Emmerdale actor and tipped him for victory against Karim Zeroual and Emma Barton.

He said: “It’s terribly hard to call, but I do think the public will choose Kelvin as the Strictly winner this weekend.

“His bravura on that dance floor was such a surprise to us all!”

Kelvin and Oti Mabuse, who received their first 40 last week, will be dancing the rumba to Ain’t No Sunshine and their showdance to The Isley Brothers’ classic Shout.

Craig, 54, told Best that Kelvin’s biggest threat is early favourite children’s TV presenter, Karim adding: “Karim will come close though – I think he’s brilliant.”

He also joked he’d buy Bruno Tonioli a seatbelt, to “stop him flying around that judge’s chair like he’s about to take off”.
