The pair had a seemingly tense disagreement while commenting on Jonnie Peacock’s Tango to Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics.
Mr Nasty Craig criticised the Paralympian’s posture however his co-star and host Tess Daly did not share his views - at first.
"You were leaning over Oti [Mabuse] a little bit like the Tower of Piza on that,” the 52-year-old started.
The choreographer continued: “That makes me miss the all-important V-shaping that you really have to try and achieve in this particular dance. It was also a little bit stompy for my liking.”

Not rubbish actually, Miss Darcey Bussell
Craig did not stop there: “I also didn't feel like you were leading the dance, I felt you were reacting to Oti rather than actually leading her.”
It was at that point that Darcey, 48, interrupted, claiming that his remarks were “rubbish”.
He did not look happy as he replied: “Eh! Not rubbish actually, Miss Darcey Bussell,” however thankfully the pair then broke into giggles.

“But, I loved, loved, loved the routine,” Craig thankfully added, before Jonnie was awarded 26 points
Unfortunately this placed him second from bottom on the leaderboard, just in front of Susan Calman on 25 points.
