James Jordan has waged war on Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood after he criticised his wife's provocative Christmas calendar.

The axed Strictly professional accused his former colleague of 'double standards' after Revel Horwood deemed the festive images of Ola pouring milk over herself with her legs spread inappropriate.

This is the image that Craig Revel Horwood has proclaimed unsuitable. It is NSFW

Craig is quoted to have said
"Strictly is a family show, and then you have got Ola pouring milk all over herself with her legs spread," he told Woman magazine.

But James wasn't pleased with Horwood's comments and accused the judge of double standards, bringing up Horwood's autobiography.

"How can he say it's not okay to sell a sexy Christmas calendar, but it's okay to sell his own book telling the world he was a drunken rent boy and call it All Balls and Glitter?"


What do SCD viewers think?

Personally I see no issue with the calendar and find Craig's public condemnation of it a bit strange. It's not as if she is pouring milk all over herself on the show??
It is not professional of Craig to openly chastise a dancer on the show in such a way imo.

Ola looks terrific, there is no arguing with that at least!

Craig should mind his own business .

When one pours milk over oneself, one should always keep ones legs together. That's the British way.

It's not so much the calendar that bothers me , it's her husband's shameless flogging it any chance he can get .

No.

I did have a lot more to say on the subject but my wrist is sore.

That made me genuinely lol!

I do wonder what was Craig's motivation for singling out Ola. I'm sure Kristina has sexy calendars also.

It is like a warped sort of jealousy although Craig is male. After releasing his biography documenting his time as a rent boy I am very surprised he cannot see his own blatant hypocrisy here.

Sadly, having viewed said image, it was nowhere near as inappropriate as I was hoping it would be.

Ola certainly isn't the only female dancer with a calendar.

I cannot abide James Jordan but in fairness it is Craig who is drawing attention to Ola's calendar.

By proclaiming something is not suitable in a sexy calendar gentleman will be googling to see what they are missing!

As long as shes not flogging it on the show or at the local primary school fete its not inappropriate. I don't think TPTB really have a problem with it. Her calendar is not that far removed from half the outfits she wears on strictly

This picture from the same calendar is more racy and apparently BBC bosses are displeased.

NSFW!!

The shots come after controversy regarding BBC Executives asking their Strictly Come Dancing stars to tone down their provocative spin-off projects.
In particular, BBC Bosses are said to be worried that 'tacky' spin-off projects are damaging the hit show's wholesome family image

So i was incorrect in my OP, it is not just Craig alone but the BBC are displeased and perceive her to have gone too far in this calendar.

My opinion remains unchanged though, still a fuss about nothing.

I don't even think that the milk image is that provocative.

As much as I love Claudia, I find it odd the BBC think playing with handcuffs and pestering a male dancer, or treating a male dancer as a pet (Brendan) is appropriate.

There is some hypocrisy there.

That said, James does his wife no favours.

I agree, his twitter is mainly Strictly and pushing the calendar. The guy has slated the producers of Strictly, the judges, the BBC , yet every week there he is giving a running commentary via twitter on the live shows. For someone who despises Strictly he sure uses it to sell his wares...in fact the man is clinging onto Strictly fame for dear life.

Can't believe I'm saying it, but that's actually a pretty tasteful nude!

He has been flogging it non stop on his Twitter page , what Craig said was just an added bonus for him .

Totally , I can't believe I was actually starting to feel a bit sorry for him as he seems so desperate and a bit sad .

I would have no objections if Alijaz, Tristan, Gleb or Pasha, followed in Ola and Kristina's footsteps by doing a calendar.

I agree, it is tasteful and she looks beautiful.

I think the BBC are ever mindful that they have to be seen to project a wholesome image and possibly Craig;s "outrage" is part of that but SCD itself is full of very attractive dancers of both genders wearing very little..!

You can also hardly blame Ola Kristina etc for wanting to make a little extra money off the back of the fame the show has provided them.

Ah, I stand corrected.

The gentleman is a fool of the highest order.

Aliona also has a fairly racy calendar, just for completeness' sake.

Yet the same executives think it OK for Claudia to encourage Gleb to rip his shirt off and parade half naked live on air

Her legs aren't spread - I don't see how Craig can think that qualifies as 'spread'.

Does Ola have some eye hand to mouth coordination problem? I just hope she clears up after herself, the smell of sour milk is revolting.

Lol! Craig can't be very flexible at all if he thinks those legs are spread!
