The energy and sass that he always gives in the judges opening introduction dance is amazing. Mainly the way he is behind the panel desk, I wouldnt expect him to give it his all in the dance, but he does. Darcey and Len never really do. Craig is a true performer! He's quickly become my favourite judge this year. I find the other judges sometimes over mark the contestants. But Craig is always honest and I think fair. Though at times a tad harsh.

Darcy never seems to enjoy that bit and seems a bit embarrassed, Craig is fantastic and always puts 100% into his roll on the show. Bruno always seems to like all the attention on him.

I saw him in Panto. Ironically enough (or not), he's nothing like his Panto-villain image.

I don't think Craig looks good at all in the opening faffing about.

I didn't even recognise him at first - I thought he was some geezer from the audience wearing a jacket that was too small and 'treating' us to a dodgy-dad pirouette

I always think he looks terrific in the opening of the show. Especially for someone who had a hip replacement last year! Good on him!

He's an old ham isn't he .. he's enjoying himself enormously. I think he would only give himself a 7 though .. at most.

I think the whole thing is cringe-worthy, but at least he goes for it with a bit of conviction, in contrast to Darcey and Len's mincing and Bruno's pointing like a camp 'Posh Spice'.

yes, must admit I was pretty impressed last night

.Me too. I don't actually see the point of this rather odd 'dance on' but Craig does show a bit of fun and energy, unlike the others. However I hope the 'dance on' stops !

I love the "dance on" - Craig is definitely the best!

It's because craig is very camp and theatrical. I think it's because all the attention is on the four judges at this point so craig goes for it 100%. You know when you feel almost a cross between embarrassed and confident. Where you know everyone is watching you but you use this as a means to put all the effort in. I think that's why craig does it. However he always seems to do the same thing and includes several chaise turns.

I thought he came across as a nice person on that Children in Need choir show as well. He didn't show off or try to take over the choir which is what I thought he would do from his Strictly persona. He seemed to be happy to blend into the background.

He's put on a lot of weight though .... Around his middle.

Craig certainly has a lot in his tank.

OMG Sunetra's dress does her no favours. She looks like a turkey.

I've seen him on other stuff and I think he's lovely, I think the persona on Strictly is getting a bit boring now particularly as Len can be very rude and they sometimes say more or less the same as him but HE gets the most boos.

I read his autobiography too, he had his heart broken - such a lovely book and it made me cry!

I really like the judges dance-on - they are alll different. Craig gives it 200% Darcey seems afraid of skidding in her high heels, Bruno is - well, Bruno and Len gets it just right.

Hate the judges dance on. I find it embarrassing and Craig's over the top dancing, “look at me, look at me" so cringe worthy.

I quite like that part of the show.

You're saying that only because he's behind you

(Oh no he isn't)

That made me smile Jim, thank you.

I think Craig looked as if he was being electrocuted.

Loved his opening dance - and the way it was slowed down in Len's Lens tonight.

I am impressed with Craig's pivot. I have only just cracked it.

Came across this on youtube - will be trying this after my cornflakes tomorrow.
