Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has dig at Daisy Lowe saying her body ‘tends to be a little bit lazy’
STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has taken a nasty swipe at Daisy Lowe saying her "body tends to be a bit lazy".
The model has found herself in the dance-off on a number of occasions in the current series and the show's meanest judge didn't hold back when it came to her dancing skills.
Speaking to in his Strictly 'Half-term Report', Craig said: "Her body tends to be a little bit lazy and she isn’t as energetic as she needs to be.
"She can sometimes lack attack. She also started by scoring a nine from Len in week one - unfortunately, there’s only one way to go on the wheel of fortune, and that’s down."
Speaking about model contestants on the popular BBC reality show, he said: "I’ve learnt not to expect a lot from supermodels - we’ve had them on Strictly before and they’ve been horrendous.
"Some of them can’t even walk, and to think that’s all they do for a living!"
Craig also said Daisy's tall model frame holds her back.
He said: "She is a tall girl so it takes her a little longer to create perfect lines, which means she’s got to put double the energy in than someone half her size.
"That’s her difficulty. She needs to keep practising and pushing herself to the limit.
"She also needs to give everything she’s got in each performance."

However, while he was critical of her performances so far, Craig did add: "But Daisy has a lovely personality, is beautiful to watch and seems to be able to take to any style, which is great.
"For some reason, though, the public just aren’t voting for her.
While he didn't hold back about Daisy, 27, Strictly's Mr Nasty had a kinder view of former MP Ed Balls, who has defied the critics and the viewers to sail through ever week.
Last Saturday, Ed surprised the judges with his stellar performance of the Quickstep to Help! by The Beatles and now, as we exclusively revealed, Strictly's judges and producers are at loggerheads over his seemingly unstoppable march to the show’s final.
Craig said he's surprised at how much Ed has improved every week and is convinced he can make it to the final.
