Those who attended the Strictly Live Tour at the O2 Arena on Saturday were taken aback by Craig's remarks which were reportedly aimed at Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

An eyewitness told us: "I was at the strictly live tour last night and Craig was giving feedback to one of the contestants.

"He was mean and everyone booed and he said 'whatever' with the 'W' with his fingers.

"He then flipped it around to make an 'M' and said 'minger'."

The Sun has contacted a rep for comment.

A source close to Craig responded: "Have you ever seen the Strictly tour? It’s a JOKE."

It comes not long after Craig hit back at a fan who branded him "a horrid obnoxious individual".

The abusive message posted by an X user read: "You really are a horrid obnoxious individual, you should be totally ashamed of yourself."

Craig tackled it head-on by writing back: "It seems Taff you are contributing to the toxicity.

"I quote from one of your recent posts 'This has got to be the most toxic and unpleasant social media platform going .... at least you can feel cheerful on facebook... juz sayin'."

Last month Craig revealed what he thought of Strictly pair Ellie Leach and Bobby Brazier's fledgling romance, though there's no indication the two things are linked.

He told the : "Ellie and Bobby?! No, I didn’t [see that coming], I didn’t even know about that, but there you go."
