Strictly: Craig gets emotional after Ellie’s ‘flawless’ performance<\/h3>\n

Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left worried this may be Craig Revel Horwood\u2019s final series on the show. The 58-year-old has been a judge on the BBC series since it first began back in 2004.<\/p>\n

However, after Craig gave an emotional speech during the grand finale on Saturday, viewers thought he could be bowing out from his role. Concern arose after he was giving feedback to Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.<\/p>\n

Before raising the Glitterball Trophy, Ellie and Vito took to the dancefloor to perform their first routine of the night. However, the evening performance didn\u2019t go quite to plan as there was a slight blunder during a lift.<\/p>\n

When it came to getting critiques from the judges, it was clear Craig was trying to hold back emotion as he reflected on how far the show had come. He commented: “I’m so pleased that you did take a risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think back, actually, to series one and I was imagining Natasha Kaplinksy doing that and how far this programme has come, you\u2019re amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Getting choked up, his colleague Motsi Mabuse placed a hand on his shoulder to comfort him as she could see he started to well up.<\/p>\n

As the judge usually presents a more deadpan exterior, it wasn\u2019t long before fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on why they believe he was emotional during the finale.<\/p>\n

@elliot_gonzalez commented: \u201cWhy am I getting the feeling from Craig tonight that this is his final series? And he\u2019s saying goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agreeing, @EurovishPaul replied: \u201cI feel exactly the same!! He\u2019s been very emotional this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
