Craig, 52, is set to give Danny a run for his money as pictures reveal his eye-popping transformation into 'Toxic'-era Britney Spears, complete with baby blue air hostess outfit, knee-high silver boots and suited backing dancers.
In a clip released by Channel 5, the EastEnders star can be seen taking on Kasabian's 'Fire' with his more familiar masculine attitude.
Getting ready to battle it out in the lip sync, Danny told The Sun: "I was born to do this - to be a rock star. There's no way in the world I will lose to Craig f***ing Revel Horwood. Of course he's my enemy tonight and he always will be."

Host Professor Green recently admitted that he's "a little s**t" on Lip Sync Battle UK, but he had a soft spot for Danny on the show, saying that his Amy Winehouse performance was actually quite emotional.
The rapper told Digital Spy: "He was one of the few people who had genuine reasons behind picking the songs he picked. He picked Kasabian because he's really good friends with them and he loves them, and similarly Amy Winehouse.
"That was really sad — that was quite emotional, to be honest. There was a little bit of me willing for Danny to win that one," he added.
Lip Sync Battle UK returns Friday January 6 at 10pm on Channel 5.
