Strictly's Craig Revel Horwood blasts James Jordan as too bitter to be a judge

Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood ruled out James Jordan returning as a judge.

The notoriously harsh judge slammed the former Strictly Come Dancing professional as "too bitter" and "too twisted".

James left Strictly Come Dancing back in 2013 but still airs his opinions about the contestants on Twitter.

Craig fired back at Jordan after the star commented Strictly wasn't up to scratch this year.

He told OK! magazine : "Oh, he would say that. Honestly, we won’t make amends until he stops slagging me off!

"His comments and scores on Twitter always tally up with mine. He thinks the same as I do and it makes me laugh because he clearly wants my job!"

With every confidence, Craig rubbished the idea James could return to Strictly as a judge.

Although the judge did joke the pair would have a laugh on the panel together because he could put James in his place.

He said: "Not in a million years. He’s too bitter, he’s too twisted! We’d have a laugh on the panel – I’d put him in his place!"

James was however impressed with the glittering finale which saw Bill Bailey and Oti Mabuse lift the Glitter Ball trophy.

He wrote on Twitter: "What a great #StrictlyComeDancing final last night.....

"Well done to Oti and Bill on their win.

"And well done to all the other finalists on thoroughly entertaining us all. We all needed a bit of Strictly this year."
