He's there at around 01:16

He was there on the panel that Louis Theroux auditioned for back in the late 90's. He's got an eyebrow ring too.

And was plain Craig Horwood - hadn't gone double barrelled at that time.

If you look at 3:27,you'll see the death stare he has since perfected for Strictly!

Thank you, I look forward to seeing this when I get in.

Perhaps he's trying to copy Lawrence (Llewelyn) Bowen?

Another self-obsessed poser with a made up second name, but both are pretty harmless.

Lawrence seems to have no talent though where as Craig obviously does.

Terry, you're always one for extremes, aren't you?

Being fair, that's Craig's real name.

Louis lol, has Craig got a ring in his left eye brow lol

Isn't Revel his actual middle name?

So it would be correct to call him Craig Horwood or Craig Revel Horwood.

I'm not saying it isn't.

He was referred to on the video without the use of his middle name. People with double-barreled names usually are a bit touchy if their name is shortened, but it didn't bother him then, but obviously now he's more grand he has decided to use it.

I think I read somewhere it's his mother's maiden name? I could be mistaken but that makes sense. Either that or the guy on Louis T got it wrong

Is he distinguishing himself from other Craig Horwoods, Equity etc.

Maybe he just likes the pic n mix delight that are Revels. I have a penchant for the coffee ones myself

But it isn't a double barrelled name, is it? Aren't they normally hyphenated?

Not necessarily. Helena Bonham Carter.

I think if it were on his birth certificate it would have the hyphen.

As for having a name that may be similar to another.
Equity is no longer the force it once was, thanks to Mrs Thatcher's union bashing. You don't have to have an equity card to get a job in the entertainment industry. He's not an actor anyway so I don't think it would matter anyway.

In his autobiography he says that he had to add the Revel (a family name of some sort) as there was already a Craig Horwood on UK Equity's books.

Thanks guys, this has been a very educational thread for me.

So if I understand correctly, the 'Revel' is either a middle name on the birth certificate or an assumed name, which Craig didn't have/use before, but now he insists on it being used to give the impression of a double-barrelled name?

That would make sense, along with his fake English accent.

There's a lot of "fake" about him, particularly his role as one of the "SCD Village People." But I guess he's encouraged to act like that as on ITT you can tell he wouldn't normally face to face, say "Boo" to anyone.
