Craig Revel Horwood: Debbie could get the ‘perfect’ score
The 59-year-old former magician’s assistant has been the dark horse of the competition and now it looks like she could go all the way and get 10s from the entire panel for the notoriously tricky dance.
No one in the history of the BBC show has managed to get a 40 from the judges for a Rumba although stars have come close in the past with 39.
Appearing on tonight’s episode of It Takes Two, the 52-year-old judge said that Debbie was “incredible to watch” after he was left gobsmacked by her Halloween performance.
The West End choreographer explained about getting the perfect Rumba score: “If they started learning in week one and kept doing it for 10 weeks, yes, probably.
“It’s the hardest… I think Debbie has a chance to get really high scores.”
However, host Zoe Ball did point out: “She’s done her Rumba.”

Craig went on to clarify: “I mean if she gets to do it again maybe that will improve, I think that’s a good sign. But she was really doing some lovely, lovely work in that.
“She was wonderful to watch, I mean incredible really.”
The presenter, 46, said to Craig: “Let’s talk about Flexy McGee, she impressed again. I do believe your exact words were, ‘absolutely incredible’. She contained in her dance a cross-swivel hop.”

The judge agreed before he proceeded to give a demonstration of the move from Debbie’s Charleston routine.
This week Debbie and her professional partner Giovanni Pernice will be hoping to top the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard for a third week in a row with a Tango to I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas.
Craig's appearance comes as Zoe's phone went off mid-way through the show, leaving her mortified at the gaffe.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One this Saturday at 6.50pm.
