Alex Kingston slams Craig Revel Horwood's 'mean-spirited' Strictly jab

Alex Kingston has expressed her disappointment with Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood, describing his remarks about her performance as "mean-spirited." During her time on the show with professional dancer Johannes Radebe, Kingston performed a salsa to the track 'Horny'. While other judges offered praise, Revel Horwood critiqued her routine by likening her to a woman experiencing a "midlife crisis."

Kingston, speaking recently, stated she was unaware of the extent of the criticism at the time. She felt Revel Horwood's comment was not only unkind but also contradicted her personal philosophy of embracing life and dancing regardless of age. She emphasized her advocacy for living fully, encouraging people to pursue their passions at any stage of life.

Beyond the critique, Kingston spoke fondly of her partnership with Johannes Radebe. She described him as someone who will "be in her life forever" and noted their immediate, natural connection. This bond, formed from starting at zero on the show, was a highlight of her experience.

Kingston also shared her broader life philosophy, emphasizing the importance of living in the moment and disregarding societal norms about aging. She believes in expressing herself authentically, particularly through her fashion choices, and applies this outlook to her daily life.
